4×(3x-1)-(8x-3)=-17 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
4*(3*x-1)-(8*x-3) = -17
Expand brackets in the left part
4*3*x-4*1-8*x+3 = -17
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-1 + 4*x = -17
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$4 x = -16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = -16 / (4)
We get the answer: x = -4
