Question

9(4–5x)+2=7(6x–7) plz help!!

Answer 1

`x=1`

Explanation:

So we have:

`9(4-5x)+2=7(6x-7)`

First, distribute the left:

`36-45x+2=7(6x-7)`

Now, distribute the right:

`36-45x+2=42x-49`

Add the numbers on the left:

`38-45x=42x-49`

Add 49 to both sides. The right cancels:"

`87-45x=42x`

Add 45 to both sides:

`87=87x`

Divide both sides by 87:

`x=1`

And we're done!

Answer 2

x=1

Explanation:

9(4–5x)+2=7(6x–7)

Distribute

36 -45x +2 = 42x-49

Combine like terms

-45x +38 = 42x-49

Add 45x to each side

-45x +38 +45x = 42x+45x-49

38 = 87x-49

Add 49 to each side

38+49 = 87x-49+49

87 = 87x

Divide by 87

87/87 = 87x/87

1 =x
