Let's solve your equation step-by-step. 
8.88=4.44(x−7) 
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 
8.88=4.44(x−7) 
8.88=(4.44)(x)+(4.44)(−7)(Distribute) 
8.88=4.44x+−31.08 
8.88=4.44x−31.08 
Step 2: Flip the equation. 
4.44x−31.08=8.88 
Step 3: Add 31.08 to both sides. 
4.44x−31.08+31.08=8.88+31.08 
4.44x=39.96 
Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.44.
