Question
Solve the equation
x=4
Evaluate
4(x−1)×2−11=13
Multiply the terms
8(x−1)−11=13
Move the expression to the left side
8(x−1)−11−13=0
Subtract the numbers
8(x−1)−24=0
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
8(x−1)−24
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
8(x−1)
Apply the distributive property
8x−8×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
8x−8
8x−8−24
Subtract the numbers
8x−32
8x−32=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
8x=0+32
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
8x=32
Divide both sides
88x=832
Divide the numbers
x=832
