Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-4(1-2x)-1=7x\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(-4)(1)+(-4)(-2x)-1=7x\\\\-4+8x-1=7x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\8x+(-4-1)=7x\\\\8x-5=7x\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\8x-5+5=7x+5\\\\8x=7x+5\qquad\text{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-7x=7x-7x+5\\\\x=5[/tex]
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
((0 - 4 • (1 - 2x)) - 1) - 7x = 0
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
x - 5 = 0
Step 3 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
3.1 Solve : x-5 = 0
Add 5 to both sides of the equation :
x = 5
One solution was found :
x = 5
