2. 37/3

   step-by-step explanation:

   step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

   7x+8(x+

   1

   4

   )=3(6x−9)−8

   7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

   1

   4

   )=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

   7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

   (7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

   15x+2=18x+−35

   15x+2=18x−35

   tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

   15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

   −3x+2=−35

   step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

   −3x+2−2=−35−2

   −3x=−37

   step 4: divide both sides by -3.

   −3x

   −3

   =

   −37

   −3

   x=

   37
