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 :

                     x-32-(3*x+99)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -2x - 131  =   -1 • (2x + 131) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.1      Solve  :    -2x-131 = 0 

 Add  131  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -2x = 131
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  2x = -131


Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
                     x = -131/2 = -65.500
