See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Step 1) Expand the terms in parenthesis on the left side of the equation by multiplying each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

#color(red)(1/4)(24x - 28) = 6x - 7#

#(color(red)(1/4) xx 24x) - (color(red)(1/4) xx 28) = 6x - 7#

#6x - 7 = 6x - 7#

Because both sides of the equation are exactly the same, the solution is:

#x# can be any number, or the set of all Real Numbers: #{RR}#
