Question

Solve 4(1-x)-10x=-13(x+1)

Answer 1

We are required to find x:

`\begin{gathered} 4(1\text{ - x) - 10x = -13(x + 1)} \\ 4\text{ - 4x - 10x = -13x - 13} \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ -14x\text{ + 13x = -13 - 4} \\ -\text{ x = - 17} \\ x\text{ = 17} \end{gathered}`

The solution is x = 17
