`8\left(7x-2\right)=96\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}8\\(8\left(7x-2\right))/(8)=(96)/(8)\\\\Simplify\\7x-2=12\\\\Add\:2\:to\:both\:sides\\7x-2+2=12+2\\\\Simplify\\7x=14\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}7\\(7x)/(7)=(14)/(7)\\\\Simplify\\x=2`

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

8(7x-2)=96

7x-2 = 96 : 8

7x-2 = 12

7x = 12 +2

7x = 14

x = 14 : 7

x = 2
