Answer:
x = -7
Explanation:
36 − 5x = 5 − 6(x − 4)
[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]
36 − 5x = 5 − 6(x − 4)
36 + −5x = 5 + (−6)(x) + (−6)(−4) [ Distribute ]
36 + −5x = 5 + −6x + 24
−5x + 36 = (−6x) + (5 + 24) [ Combine Like Terms ]
−5x + 36 = −6x + 29
−5x + 36 = −6x + 29
[ Step 2: Add 6x to both sides ]
−5x + 36 + 6x = −6x + 29 + 6x
x + 36 = 29
[ Step 3: Subtract 36 from both sides ]
x + 36 − 36 = 29 − 36
x = −7
