The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x+9 = 4-5*x-7*x-15
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
9 + 8*x = -11 - 12*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = - 12 x - 20$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$20 x = -20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 20
x = -20 / (20)
We get the answer: x = -1
