    The correct answer is x=2.

    Explanation:

    First we will use the distributive property on both sides:

    7/8 (-32) - 7/8 (48x) + 36=2/3 (-33x) - 2/3 (18) - 10x

    = - 224/8-336x/8+36

    =-66x/3-36/3-10x.

    Simplifying the fractions, we have

    -28-42x+36=-22x-12-10x.

    Combining like terms, we have

    -42x+8=-32x-12.

    Add 32x to both sides:

    -42x+8+32x=-32x-12+32x

    -10x+8=-12.

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    -10x+8-8=-12-8

    -10x=-20.

    Divide both sides by - 10:

    -10x/-10 = - 20/-10

    x=2.
