x+74x+2=x+72x−4 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x+74*x+2 = x+72*x-4
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
2 + 75*x = x+72*x-4
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
2 + 75*x = -4 + 73*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$75 x = 73 x - 6$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$2 x = -6$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = -6 / (2)
We get the answer: x = -3
