Answer : hope it helps

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

5*(x-2)+3-(7*x-9)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(5 • (x - 2) + 3) - (7x - 9) = 0

Step 2 :

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

2 - 2x = -2 • (x - 1)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

-2 • (x - 1) = 0

Step 4 :

Equations which are never true :

4.1 Solve : -2 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2 Solve : x-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides of the equation :

x = 1
