Answer:

[tex]x=-\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

[tex](x - 4) - (x + 7) = 8x[/tex]

Open up the parentheses

[tex]x - 4 - x - 7 = 8x[/tex]

Combine like terms

[tex]x -x - 4 - 7 = 8x\\-4-7=8x\\-11=8x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{11}{8}=x[/tex]

I hope this helps!
