Answer:
Simplifying
(-4x + -2) + -1(13x + 1) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(-2 + -4x) + -1(13x + 1) = 0
Remove parenthesis around (-2 + -4x)
-2 + -4x + -1(13x + 1) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-2 + -4x + -1(1 + 13x) = 0
-2 + -4x + (1 * -1 + 13x * -1) = 0
-2 + -4x + (-1 + -13x) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-2 + -1 + -4x + -13x = 0
Combine like terms: -2 + -1 = -3
-3 + -4x + -13x = 0
Combine like terms: -4x + -13x = -17x
-3 + -17x = 0
Solving
-3 + -17x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + -17x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -17x = 0 + 3
-17x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-17x = 3
Divide each side by '-17'.
x = -0.1764705882
Simplifying
x = -0.1764705882
Answer:
x = -3/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Distribute the minus sign
(-4x - 2) - (13x + 1)
-4x - 2 - 13x - 1
Step 2: Combine like terms
-4x - 2 - 13x - 1
-17x - 3
Step 3: Solve for x
-17x - 3 = 0
-17x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3
-17x / -17 = 3 / -17
x = -3/17
Answer: x = -3/17
