The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5*(2-5*x)-7*(4*x-1) = 6*x-42
Expand brackets in the left part
5*2-5*5*x-7*4*x+7*1 = 6*x-42
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
17 - 53*x = 6*x-42
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 53 x = 6 x - 59$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- 59 x = -59$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -59
x = -59 / (-59)
We get the answer: x = 1
