(18x-19)-(4-7x)=-73 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(18*x-19)-(4-7*x) = -73
Expand brackets in the left part
18*x-19-4+7*x = -73
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-23 + 25*x = -73
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$25 x = -50$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 25
x = -50 / (25)
We get the answer: x = -2
