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 :

                3*(x-6)-8*x-(-2*x+5*(2*x-1))=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  ((3•(x-6))-8x)-(-2x+5•(2x-1))  = 0 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (3 • (x - 6) -  8x) -  (8x - 5)  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   -13x - 13  =   -13 • (x + 1) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  -13 • (x + 1)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

 5.1      Solve :    -13   =  0

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

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.2      Solve  :    x+1 = 0 

 Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -1
