How do i solve this equation for x?

The answer is x = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of x, e must first distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.

6(x - 7) = 8x + 22

6x - 42 = 8x + 22

Now we will add/subtract values so that all x values are on the right and all number values are on the left.

6x - 42 = 8x + 22

-42 = 2x + 22

-64 = 2x

Now to get the final answer, divide both sides by 2.

-32 = x

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
