-3(1+4x)=-4x-5 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-3*(1+4*x) = -4*x-5
Expand brackets in the left part
-3*1-3*4*x = -4*x-5
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 12 x = - 4 x - 2$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-8\right) x = -2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -8
x = -2 / (-8)
We get the answer: x = 1/4
