answer choices :
A : x = - 5
B : x = - 4
C : x = 4
D x = 5

Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8} + \frac{1}{2} x[/tex]
first group the like terms
[tex]\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{1}{2}x = 1[/tex]
as 1/8 plus 7/8 = 1
then add the x's together
[tex]-\frac{1}{4} x = 1[/tex]
and finally
x = -4
