Title: Solve the equation

Grade: 7-b Lesson: S2-L7

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Steps	Problem	Solution
1	Solve	\$ 8(3 - x/32)= -(- x - 4) \$
2	After simplification	\$ 24 - \cancel8^1x/\cancel(32)^4 = x + 4 \$
3	After cancelation	\$ 24 - x/4 = x + 4 \$
4	Move Variable terms to the right side and constant terms to the left side	\$ -x/4 - x = 4 + 24 \$
5	Taking LCM as '\$4\$'	\$ (-x - 4x)/4 = 28 \$
6	After simplification	\$ - (5x)/4 = 28/1 \$
7	By using cross multiplication	\$ - 5x = 112 \$
8	Dividing on both sides by '\$-5\$' of the equality	\$ \cancel(-5)^1/ \cancel(-5)^1 x = 112/(-5) \$
9	After cancelation	\$ x = - 112/5 \$
10	Answer	B = \$ x = - 112/5 \$

Steps

Problem

Solution

Solve

\$ 8(3 - x/32)= -(- x - 4) \$

After simplification

\$ 24 - \cancel8^1x/\cancel(32)^4 = x + 4 \$

After cancelation

\$ 24 - x/4 = x + 4 \$

Move Variable terms to the right side and constant terms to the left side

\$ -x/4 - x = 4 + 24 \$

Taking LCM as '\$4\$'

\$ (-x - 4x)/4 = 28 \$

After simplification

\$ - (5x)/4 = 28/1 \$

By using cross multiplication

\$ - 5x = 112 \$

Dividing on both sides by '\$-5\$' of the equality

\$ \cancel(-5)^1/ \cancel(-5)^1 x = 112/(-5) \$

After cancelation

\$ x = - 112/5 \$

Answer

B = \$ x = - 112/5 \$
