Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

4(8 - 2x) = 2(7 - x)

Step 2: Solve for x

[Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  2(8 - 2x) = 7 - x[Distributive Property] Distribute 2:                                                                 16 - 4x = 7 - x[Addition Property of Equality] Add x on both sides:                                     16 - 3x = 7[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 16 on both sides:                       -3x = -9[Division Property of Equality] Divide -3 on both sides:                                x = 3

Well if you have 20 bats you probably want 20 balls? you don’t have enough context to answer the question.
