1(x-4)=2(x+1) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
1*(x-4) = 2*(x+1)
Expand brackets in the left part
1*x-1*4 = 2*(x+1)
Expand brackets in the right part
1*x-1*4 = 2*x+2*1
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$x = 2 x + 6$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 6$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 6 / (-1)
We get the answer: x = -6
