18-7x=10-3(x+4) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
18-7*x = 10-3*(x+4)
Expand brackets in the right part
18-7*x = 10-3*x-3*4
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
18 - 7*x = -2 - 3*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = - 3 x - 20$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- 4 x = -20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -20 / (-4)
We get the answer: x = 5
