To solve the given equation, let's simplify and expand both sides:


\displaystyle\sf (2x+1)(2x+6)-7(x-2)=4(x+1)(x-1)-9x

Expanding the brackets:


\displaystyle\sf (4x^(2)+13x+6)-7x+14=4(x^(2)-1)-9x

Simplifying further:


\displaystyle\sf 4x^(2)+13x+6-7x+14=4x^(2)-4-9x

Combining like terms:


\displaystyle\sf 4x^(2)+6x+20=4x^(2)-9x-4

Subtracting
\displaystyle\sf 4x^(2) from both sides:


\displaystyle\sf 6x+20=-9x-4

Bringing all the variables to one side and the constants to the other side:


\displaystyle\sf 6x+9x=-4-20


\displaystyle\sf 15x=-24

Dividing both sides by
\displaystyle\sf 15 to solve for
\displaystyle\sf x:


\displaystyle\sf x=-(24)/(15)

Simplifying the fraction:


\displaystyle\sf x=-(8)/(5)

Therefore, the solution to the equation is
\displaystyle\sf x=-(8)/(5).

Answer:

x is equal to -34/16

Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to solve for x, we need to first simplify everything

After simplifying, it will look like this:


(4x^2+14x+16)-7x+14=4x^2-4-9x

Now you can simplify by combining like terms


4x^2+7x+30=4x^2-9x-4

You can cross out
4x^2 from both sides and then simplify even more by again combining like terms


16x+34=0\\16x=-34\\x=-34/16

So x is equal to -34/16
