Q. Solve the following equation for x. Express your answer in the simplest form.−(5x−7)−3=5x+2(−5x+2)
Combine like terms: Now, we have −5x+4 on both sides of the equation.Set the equation −5x+4=−5x+4 and simplify.Subtract −5x from both sides to get 4=4.
Simplify and subtract: Since 4=4 is a true statement and x has been eliminated, this means that the equation is true for all values of x. The solution is all real numbers.
