we have the equation
[tex]−5\left(x+6\right)+5=4\left(x−7\right)[/tex]Solve for x
step 1
Apply distributive property on both sides
[tex]-5x-30+5=4x-28[/tex]step 2
Group similar terms
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+5x=-30+5+28 \\ Combin\text{e like terms} \\ 9x=3 \\ x=\frac{9}{3} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
