Step-by-step explanation:
x−7(x−2)=10x+9−x
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x−7(x−2)=10x+9−x
x+(−7)(x)+(−7)(−2)=10x+9+−x(Distribute)
x+−7x+14=10x+9+−x
(x+−7x)+(14)=(10x+−x)+(9)(Combine Like Terms)
−6x+14=9x+9
−6x+14=9x+9
Step 2: Subtract 9x from both sides.
−6x+14−9x=9x+9−9x
−15x+14=9
Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.
−15x+14−14=9−14
−15x=−5
Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.
−15x−15=−5−15
x=13
Answer:
x=13
