5-2*(x-1)=4*x equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5-2*(x-1) = 4*x
Expand brackets in the left part
5-2*x+2*1 = 4*x
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
7 - 2*x = 4*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 4 x - 7$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-6\right) x = -7$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -6
x = -7 / (-6)
We get the answer: x = 7/6
