Answer:
[tex]x=2/7695[/tex]
≡ Small number, yes, but the steps explain why x is equal to this.
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify
[tex]24x\cdot 321-x=8x+2\\\left(24\cdot 321\right)x-x=8x+2\\7703x=8x+2[/tex]
group
[tex]7703x=8x+2\\7703x-8x=8~x+2-8x\\7695x=8x+2-8x\\7695x=8x-8x+2\\7695x=2[/tex]
isolate
[tex]7695x=2\\\frac{7695x}{7695}=\frac{2}{7695}\\x=\frac{2}{7695}[/tex]
The fraction is in its simplest form, so that is the final answer.
