Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

x=5
x=5

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                -(1+7*x)-6*(-7-x)-(36)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   -7 - x  =   -1 • (x + 7) 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  ((-7x - 1) -  -6 • (x + 7)) -  36  = 0 

Step  3  :

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  5 - x  = 0 

Step  4  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.1      Solve  :    -x+5 = 0 

 
Subtract  5  from both sides of the equation : 
 
                     -x = -5
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = 5


One solution was found :

                   x = 5
