Question

What is 15-5(4x-7)=50

Answer 1

Simplifying

15 + -5(4x + -7) = 50

Reorder the terms:

15 + -5(-7 + 4x) = 50

15 + (-7 * -5 + 4x * -5) = 50

15 + (35 + -20x) = 50

Combine like terms: 15 + 35 = 50

50 + -20x = 50

Add '-50' to each side of the equation.

50 + -50 + -20x = 50 + -50

Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0

0 + -20x = 50 + -50

-20x = 50 + -50

Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0

-20x = 0

Solving

-20x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '-20'.

x = 0.0

Simplifying

x = 0.0
