The expression is ambiguous. Two common readings and their solutions:
1) If the equation is (21/x) + 3 + 7 = 8:
- Combine constants: 21/x + 10 = 8
- 21/x = −2
- x = 21/(−2) = −21/2 (x ≠ 0)
2) If the equation is 21/(x+3) + 7 = 8:
- 21/(x+3) = 1
- x + 3 = 21
- x = 18 (x ≠ −3)
If you intended one of these forms, the corresponding solution is above; tell me which form you meant if you want just that solution.
