The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*(x-5) = 9
Expand brackets in the left part
-2*x+2*5 = 9
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = -1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = -1 / (-2)
We get the answer: x = 1/2
