9(x-1)=x+15 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
9*(x-1) = x+15
Expand brackets in the left part
9*x-9*1 = x+15
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$9 x = x + 24$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$8 x = 24$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = 24 / (8)
We get the answer: x = 3
