Question

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

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

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

Begin solving for x by performing the indicated multiplication:

4x + 28 = 9x - 9 + 22

Combine the x terms:

28 = 9x - 4x - 9 + 22

28 = 5x + 13

Subtracting 13 from both sides isolates 5x:

15 = 5x. Then x = 3
