Given the linear equation:
5*x-3*(4*x-1) = 7-2*(7*x+2)
Expand brackets in the left part
5*x-3*4*x+3*1 = 7-2*(7*x+2)
Expand brackets in the right part
5*x-3*4*x+3*1 = 7-2*7*x-2*2
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
3 - 7*x = 7-2*7*x-2*2
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
3 - 7*x = 3 - 14*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = - 14 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$7 x = 0$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 7
x = 0 / (7)
We get the answer: x = 0
