Solve 2left(2+xright)-6-7x=13x-1+4x

$$2 \left( 2+x \right) -6-7x = 13x-1+4x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1}{22}\approx -0.045454545$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2+x.

$$4+2x-6-7x=13x-1+4x$$

Subtract 6 from 4 to get -2.

$$-2+2x-7x=13x-1+4x$$

Combine 2x and -7x to get -5x.

$$-2-5x=13x-1+4x$$

Combine 13x and 4x to get 17x.

$$-2-5x=17x-1$$

Subtract 17x from both sides.

$$-2-5x-17x=-1$$

Combine -5x and -17x to get -22x.

$$-2-22x=-1$$

Add 2 to both sides.

$$-22x=-1+2$$

Add -1 and 2 to get 1.

$$-22x=1$$

Divide both sides by -22.

$$x=\frac{1}{-22}$$

Fraction \frac{1}{-22} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{22} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{1}{22}$$
