x-5(x-2)=28 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x-5*(x-2) = 28
Expand brackets in the left part
x-5*x+5*2 = 28
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
10 - 4*x = 28
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 18$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = 18 / (-4)
We get the answer: x = -9/2
