Solution

Sure, let's solve the equation step by step:

  1. First, let's move all the x terms to one side of the equation and the constants to the other side. We can do this by adding 3x to both sides and subtracting 47 from both sides:

    -3x + 3x + 7 - 47 = -8x + 3x + 47 - 47

    This simplifies to:

    0 - 40 = -5x + 0

    Or:

    -40 = -5x

  2. Next, let's solve for x by dividing both sides by -5:

    -40 / -5 = -5x / -5

    This simplifies to:

    x = 8

So, the solution to the equation -3x + 7 = -8x + 47 is x = 8.
