    1) distribute - 1/2

    7x - 4x - 2 = 6

    2) combine like terms

    3x - 2 = 6

    3) use the addition properties of equality

    3x = 8

    4) use the division properties of equality

    x = 8/3

    We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

    7x-1/2 (8x+4) = 6

    Simplifying:

    7x-0.5 * (8x+4) = 6

    Reorder the terms

    7x + (-4x-2) = 6

    Remove unnecessary parentheses

    +7x-4x-2=+6

    We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

    +7x-4x=+6+2

    We simplify left and right side of the equation.

    +3x=+8

    We divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x.

    x=2.66666666667
