4(11/8 + 3/2) is 11 1/2, not 7, so the solution is incorrect. Andre subtracted . 32 from each side, but that doesn’t remove the 3/2 from the equation because 3/2 is part of an expression multiplied by 4. Andre could divide each side by 4 to get x+ 3/2 = 7/4 and then subtract 3/2 on each side to get x= 1/4. ................
