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 :

                -5*(4*x-4)-2*x-4-(-28)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   4x - 4  =   4 • (x - 1) 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (((0 -  20 • (x - 1)) -  2x) -  4) -  -28  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   44 - 22x  =   -22 • (x - 2) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  -22 • (x - 2)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

 5.1      Solve :    -22   =  0

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

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.2      Solve  :    x-2 = 0 

 Add  2  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 2
