The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
9*x-7*(x+1) = -2*x
Expand brackets in the left part
9*x-7*x-7*1 = -2*x
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7 + 2*x = -2*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 7 - 2 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$4 x = 7$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = 7 / (4)
We get the answer: x = 7/4
