Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

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

                     -10-(2*(2*x-2)-3)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   2x - 2  =   2 • (x - 1) 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  -10 -  (4 • (x - 1) -  3)  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   -4x - 3  =   -1 • (4x + 3) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  -4x - 3  = 0 

Step  5  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.1      Solve  :    -4x-3 = 0 

 Add  3  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -4x = 3
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  4x = -3


Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
                     x = -3/4 = -0.750
