Question

4(x+7)=9(x-1)+22 solve for x

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

First we will distribute the 4 into the (x+7) and 9 into (x-1).

You should then got

4x+28=9x-9+22

Afterwards we combine like-terms

4x+28=9x+13

Then, we put all the alike values on the same side together.

4x+28=9x+13

-4x -4x

___________

28=5x+13

-13 -13

____________

15=5x

You then divide both sides by 5 to isolate x

15/5= 3

x=3
