-5(x-7)=30-(2x+1) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-5*(x-7) = 30-(2*x+1)
Expand brackets in the left part
-5*x+5*7 = 30-(2*x+1)
Expand brackets in the right part
-5*x+5*7 = 30-2*x-1
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
35 - 5*x = 29 - 2*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 5 x = - 2 x - 6$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-3\right) x = -6$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -3
x = -6 / (-3)
We get the answer: x = 2
