Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     5*x+2*(x-6)+7-(2)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  ((5x +  2 • (x - 6)) +  7) -  2  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   7x - 7  =   7 • (x - 1) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  7 • (x - 1)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    7   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    x-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 1
