-4+7x+4=8 direct vriation

-4 and 4 get cancelled.

Hence 7x =8
solve for x

actually, since there is only one variable, there is no direct variation. If you meant

-4+7x+4 = y

then y = 7x

is a direct variation.

To solve the equation -4 + 7x + 4 = 8, we need to simplify the expression on the left side of the equation by combining like terms.

Starting with the given equation:
-4 + 7x + 4 = 8

Let's combine the constant terms (-4 and 4) on the left side to simplify the equation:
(-4 + 4) + 7x = 8
0 + 7x = 8
7x = 8

Now, to find the value of x, we need to isolate it by dividing both sides of the equation by 7:
(7x)/7 = 8/7
x = 8/7

Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation -4 + 7x + 4 = 8 is x = 8/7.
