Question
Solve the equation
x=6
Evaluate
15−4(7−x)=11
Move the expression to the left side
15−4(7−x)−11=0
Subtract the numbers
4−4(7−x)=0
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
4−4(7−x)
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
−4(7−x)
Apply the distributive property
−4×7−(−4x)
Multiply the numbers
−28−(−4x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−28+4x
4−28+4x
Subtract the numbers
−24+4x
−24+4x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+24
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=24
Divide both sides
44x=424
Divide the numbers
x=424
