Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 7x - 8 = 34 + 9x - 2

-3x + 7x - 9x = 34 - 2 + 8

-5x = 40|: (-5)

x = -8

[tex] - 3x + 7x - 8 = 34 + 9x - 2 \\ ⇢ 4x - 9x = 32 + 8 \\ ⇢  - 5x = 40 \\ ⇢ x = \frac{40}{ - 5} \\ ⇢ x = - 8[/tex]

[tex]{ \bf{ \underbrace{To\:verify :}}}[/tex]

[tex] - 3x + 7x - 8 = 34 + 9x - 2 \\ ⇢ - 3 \times - 8 + 7 \times - 8 - 8 = 34 + 9 \times - 8 - 2 \\ ⇢24 - 56 - 8 = 34 - 72 - 2 \\ ⇢24 - 64 = 34 - 74 \\ ⇢ - 40 = - 40 \\ ⇢L.H.S.=R. H. S[/tex]

Hence verified.
