(7x+9)-(11x-7)=8 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(7*x+9)-(11*x-7) = 8
Expand brackets in the left part
7*x+9-11*x+7 = 8
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
16 - 4*x = 8
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = -8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -8 / (-4)
We get the answer: x = 2
