Here let me help
First, let's cancel these out
3x + 2/x - 4 = 2(x + 9) - 2x + 7x + 3x + 2/x
-2/x -2/x
Now we have
3x - 4 = 2(x + 9) - 2x + 7x + 3x
But wait there's still one more thing that will cancel out.
3x - 4 = 2(x + 9) - 2x + 7x + 3x
-3x -3x
After this we have
-4=2(x+9)-2x+7x
Now we multiply the numbers
Hope this helps!
-4=2x+18-2x+7x
Next, the -2x and the 2x cancel out leaving us with
-4=18+7x
Then we will subtract the 18 from both sides leaving us with
-22=7x
Finally, we divide by 7 getting us an answer of
-22/7=x
