Example: Solve the equation 5(x+1)−(6x−9)÷3=20+x−6
 Solution: First simplify expressions on both sides of the equation:
 Use distributive property to open parenthesis: 5x+5−(2x−3) = 20+x−6 
 5x+5−2x+3 = 20+x−6
 Combine like terms: 3x+8 = 14+x 
 −x −x 
 2x+8 = 14 
 −8 −8 
 2x = 6 
 ÷2 ÷2 
 x = 3 
 Answer: x=3
