-2(x-4)=3+7x equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*(x-4) = 3+7*x
Expand brackets in the left part
-2*x+2*4 = 3+7*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 7 x - 5$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-9\right) x = -5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -9
x = -5 / (-9)
We get the answer: x = 5/9
