Given the linear equation:
34+2*(2*x-9) = 28
Expand brackets in the left part
34+2*2*x-2*9 = 28
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
16 + 4*x = 28
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$4 x = 12$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = 12 / (4)
We get the answer: x = 3
