Simplify the left hand side by multiplying the terms in the parenthesis by 3/4, i.e. divide them by 4 and multiply them by 3:

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}(8x-4)=7x+2 \iff 3(2x-1)=7x+2 \iff 6x-3 = 7x+2 [/tex]

Subtract 6x from both sides:

[tex]-3=x+2[/tex]

Subtract 2 to both sides:

[tex]x=-5[/tex]

distribute 3/4 into the parentheses, set the equation equal to each other. subtract 7 from both sides of the x’s equation and then solve.
