Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
8 - (5 - 9x) = 7(1 - x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
8 - 5 + 9x = 7 - 7x
3 + 9x = 7 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )
3 + 16x = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
16x = 4 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = [tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
