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 :

                     -4*(-2*x-2)+x-2-(-48)=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  :

  (((0 -  -8 • (x + 1)) +  x) -  2) -  -48  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   9x + 54  =   9 • (x + 6) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  9 • (x + 6)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

 5.1      Solve :    9   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.2      Solve  :    x+6 = 0 

 Subtract  6  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -6
