ok so lets get to work!
17-5(2x-9)=(-6+10)+4
now first of all we will multiply 5 by 2x and -9 which gives us -10x and -45.also we will subtract -6 and 10, becoz 10 is bigger with a positive sign , we will put a positive sign in 4.
17 - 10x - 45 = 4 + 4
now we will rearrange the numbers in the first expression and what do you thinka bout the second one?we will simply add the two 4's.
17 - 45 -10x = 8
now subtact 17 and 45
-28 - 10x = 8
now we will take 28 to the other side and add it to 8....we are adding it becoz when we take a number or a variable to another side we change its sign from minus to plus, multiplication to division and vice versa.
-10x = 8 + 28
-10x = 36
now to get x we will take -9 to the other side and divide by 36 which will give us our x....yepp
x = 36/10
now what do you think whats x
ofcourse x is
x = 3.6
so that easy it was!
any doubt....you know what to do (ask me.....incase you didnt know!)
