Answer: x = -11/8 = -1.375
Step-by-step explanation:Rearrange: 
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 
 
 (x-4)-(x+7)-(8*x)=0 
 
Step by step solution : 
Step 1 : 
Pulling out like terms : 
 1.1 Pull out like factors : 
 
 -11 - 8x = -1 • (8x + 11) 
 
Equation at the end of step 1 : 
Step 2 : 
Solving a Single Variable Equation : 
 2.1 Solve : -8x-11 = 0 
 
 Add 11 to both sides of the equation : 
 -8x = 11 
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 8x = -11 
 
 
Divide both sides of the equation by 8: 
 x = -11/8 = -1.375 
One solution was found : 
 x = -11/8 = -1.375
