3(x-7)-6x=-x equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*(x-7)-6*x = -x
Expand brackets in the left part
3*x-3*7-6*x = -x
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-21 - 3*x = -x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 3 x = 21 - x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-2\right) x = 21$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = 21 / (-2)
We get the answer: x = -21/2
