2x-2(x+7)=3(2-x) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2*x-2*(x+7) = 3*(2-x)
Expand brackets in the left part
2*x-2*x-2*7 = 3*(2-x)
Expand brackets in the right part
2*x-2*x-2*7 = 3*2-3*x
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-14 = 3*2-3*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = 20 - 3 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$3 x = 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = 20 / (3)
We get the answer: x = 20/3
