Make the given changes in the indicated examples of this section and then solve the resulting problems.
In Example 5, change (6x − 8) to (8 − 6x) and then solve.
Data from Example 5
Solve the equation
x − 7 = 3x − (6x − 8).

Checking in the original equation, we obtain (after simplifying)
![]()
x-7 x - 7 x-7 x - 7 = -3x + 8 = 3x - 6x + 8 4x - 7 = 8 4x = 15 X 15 4
