8⋅(7+x)−5x=4x−64. equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*(7+x)-5*x = 4*x-64
Expand brackets in the left part
8*7+8*x-5*x = 4*x-64
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
56 + 3*x = 4*x-64
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = 4 x - 120$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = -120$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = -120 / (-1)
We get the answer: x = 120
