5x-(7-x)+ax=-7 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5*x-(7-x)+a*x = -7
Expand brackets in the left part
5*x-7+x+a*x = -7
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7 + 6*x + a*x = -7
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$a x + 6 x = 0$$
Divide both parts of the equation by (6*x + a*x)/x
x = 0 / ((6*x + a*x)/x)
We get the answer: x = 0
