The factor outside the parentheses is -1. Distribute using that factor.

2 - (4 - x) = 7x - 5x

-1 * 4 = -4 and -1 * -x = x

2 - 4 + x = 7x - 5x

Simplify.

-2 + x = 2x

x = 2x + 2

-x = 2

x = -2

<h3>Answer:</h3>

x = -2

vitfil [10]

Let's solve for d.

fd=(7)(1.06)d

Step 1: Add -7.42d to both sides.

df+−7.42d=7.42d+−7.42d

df−7.42d=0

Step 2: Factor out variable d.

d(f−7.42)=0

Step 3: Divide both sides by f-7.42.

d(f−7.42)f−7.42=0f−7.42

d=0f−7.42

Answer:

d=0f−7.42
