Answer:

x=7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

(−1/2)(4x−7)=8x(−12)(4x)+(−1/2)(−7)=8x(Distribute)−2x+7/2=8x

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

−2x+7/2−8x=8x−8x−10x+7/2=0

Step 3: Subtract 7/2 from both sides.

−10x+7/2−7/2=0−7/2−10x=−7/2

Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.

−10x/−10=−7/2/−10x=7/20
