Solve for x. 8 (9x-4) - 2=3+2

So first you have to move the - 2 over to the opposite side.

8 (9x-4) = 3+2+2

Then you can simplify the right side

8 (9x-4) = 7

Then you distribute

8*9x=72x

8*-4=-32

so now you have ...

72x-32=7

Then you move the 37 over

72x=39

Then you divide by 72 to isolate x

x=39/72 or x = 13/24 or x=0.54167
