12/7(x-5)=24+8x

Dear student

We have \frac{12}{7} (x - 5) = 24 + 8 x \Rightarrow \frac{12}{7} x - \frac{60}{7} = 24 + 8 x \frac{12}{7} x - 8 x = 24 + \frac{60}{7} \Rightarrow \frac{12 x - 56 x}{7} = \frac{168 + 60}{7} \Rightarrow - 44 x = 228 \Rightarrow x = \frac{228}{- 44} \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 57}{11}
