8x-4=9x-2(2x-7) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x-4 = 9*x-2*(2*x-7)
Expand brackets in the right part
8*x-4 = 9*x-2*2*x+2*7
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
-4 + 8*x = 14 + 5*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = 5 x + 18$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$3 x = 18$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = 18 / (3)
We get the answer: x = 6
