Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

To solve this question we will use PEMDAS (order of operations)

4x−7=8x+33

Subtract 8x from both sides.

4x−7−8x=33

Combine 4x and −8x to get −4x.

−4x−7=33

Add 7 to both sides.

−4x=33+7

Add 33 and 7 to get 40.

−4x=40

Divide both sides by −4.

x= 40/-4

Divide 40 by −4 to get −10.

x=−10
