Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4(7 - x) = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
7 - x = 4 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
- x = - 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x= 3
Distribute into the parenthesis.
4(7)- 4(x)= 16
Multiply.
28-4x= 16
Subtract to both sides.
-28 -28
Then, divide both sides by 4 to isolate the variable.
-4x= -12
-4 -4
