The correct answer is x=2.
Explanation:
First we will use the distributive property on both sides:
7/8(-32)-7/8(48x)+36=2/3(-33x)-2/3(18)-10x
= -224/8-336x/8+36
=-66x/3-36/3-10x.
Simplifying the fractions, we have
-28-42x+36=-22x-12-10x.
Combining like terms, we have
-42x+8=-32x-12.
Add 32x to both sides:
-42x+8+32x=-32x-12+32x
-10x+8=-12.
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-10x+8-8=-12-8
-10x=-20.
Divide both sides by -10:
-10x/-10 = -20/-10
x=2.
