Move x terms right: Isolate the variable terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side.To do this, we will subtract 4x from both sides of the equation to move the x terms to the right side.4x−8−4x=8x+7−4xThis simplifies to:−8=4x+7
Isolate variable term: Now, subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the variable term.−8−7=4x+7−7This simplifies to:−15=4x
Solve for x: Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x.−15/4=4x/4This simplifies to:x=−15/4
