5=12-5(4x-1) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5 = 12-5*(4*x-1)
Expand brackets in the right part
5 = 12-5*4*x+5*1
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
5 = 17 - 20*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = 12 - 20 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$20 x = 12$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 20
x = 12 / (20)
We get the answer: x = 3/5
