Solve 2(x - 7) 1 = 5(x - 2) 6

Evaluate

2 (x - 7) \times 1 = 5 (x - 2) \times 6

Multiply the terms

2 (x - 7) = 5 (x - 2) \times 6

Multiply the terms

2 (x - 7) = 30 (x - 2)

Calculate

More Steps

2 x - 14 = 30 (x - 2)

Calculate

More Steps

2 x - 14 = 30 x - 60

Move the expression to the left side

2 x - 14 - (30 x - 60) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

- 28 x + 46 = 0

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

- 28 x = 0 - 46

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

- 28 x = - 46

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

28 x = 46

Divide both sides

\frac{28 x}{28} = \frac{46}{28}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{46}{28}

Solution

x = \frac{23}{14}

Alternative Form

x = 1.6 \dot{4} 2857 \dot{1}
