4(x-1)-11x=17 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
4*(x-1)-11*x = 17
Expand brackets in the left part
4*x-4*1-11*x = 17
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-4 - 7*x = 17
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = 21$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = 21 / (-7)
We get the answer: x = -3
