Solve 4-2(x+1)=3x-7

$$4 - 2 ( x + 1 ) = 3 x - 7$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{9}{5} = 1\frac{4}{5} = 1.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+1.

$$4-2x-2=3x-7$$

Subtract 2 from 4 to get 2.

$$2-2x=3x-7$$

Subtract 3x from both sides.

$$2-2x-3x=-7$$

Combine -2x and -3x to get -5x.

$$2-5x=-7$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$-5x=-7-2$$

Subtract 2 from -7 to get -9.

$$-5x=-9$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$x=\frac{-9}{-5}$$

Fraction \frac{-9}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{9}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{9}{5}$$
