Solve 16 - 7(5 - x) = 9

Evaluate

16 - 7 (5 - x) = 9

Move the expression to the left side

16 - 7 (5 - x) - 9 = 0

Subtract the numbers

7 - 7 (5 - x) = 0

Calculate

- 28 + 7 x = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

7 x = 0 + 28

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

7 x = 28

Divide both sides

\frac{7 x}{7} = \frac{28}{7}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{28}{7}
