Answer: X=-3
Step 1) Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
5*(x-4)+3*x-9*x-(6-(2*x+5)+8*x)=0
Step 2) ((5 • (x - 4) + 3x) - 9x) - (6x + 1) = 0
Step 3) Pull out like factors : -7x - 21 = -7 • (x + 3)
Step 4) -7 • (x + 3) = 0
Step 5) Solve : -7 = 0 This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Step 6) Solve : x+3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation :
x = -3
