Subtract 39 from both sides
-7x = -4 - 39
Simplify -4 - 39 to -43
-7x = -43
Divide both sides by -7
x = -43/-7
Two negative make a positive
x = 43/7
For the second equation;
Simplify brackets
7x + 7 = 4
Subtract 7 from both sides
7x = 4 - 7
Simplify 4 - 7 to -3
7x = -3
Divide both sides by 7
x = -3/7
Answer:
Simplifying
39 + -7x = -4(7x + 7) + 4
Reorder terms
39 + -7x = -4(7 + 7x) + 4
39 + -7x = (7 * -4 + 7x * -4) + 4
39 + -7x = (-28 + -28x) + 4
Reorder the terms
39 + -7x = -28 + 4 + -28x
Combine like terms -28 + 4 = -24
39 + -7x = -24 + -28x
Solving
39 + -7x = -24 + -28x
Solve for variable x all terms x left, all others right.
Add '28x' to each side of the equation.
39 + -7x + 28x = -24 + -28x + 28x
Combine like terms -7x + 28x = 21x
39 + 21x = -24 + -28x + 28x
Combine like terms -28x + 28x = 0
39 + 21x = -24 + 0
39 + 21x = -24
Add '-39' to each side of the equation.
39 + -39 + 21x = -24 + -39
Combine like terms: 39 + -39 = 0
0 + 21x = -24 + -39
21x = -24 + -39
Combine like terms -24 + -39 = -63
21x = -63
Divide each side by 21
x = -3
Simplifying
x = -3
