Solve 9(4x - 7) - 5(2x + 3) = 18

Evaluate

9 (4 x - 7) - 5 (2 x + 3) = 18

Move the expression to the left side

9 (4 x - 7) - 5 (2 x + 3) - 18 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

26 x - 96 = 0

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

26 x = 0 + 96

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

26 x = 96

Divide both sides

\frac{26 x}{26} = \frac{96}{26}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{96}{26}

Solution

x = \frac{48}{13}

Alternative Form

x = 3. \dot{6} 9230 \dot{7}
