15 | − | ( | 7 | − | 5 | x | ) | = | 2 | x | + | ( | 5 | − | 3 | x | ) |
Left side of the equation = | 15 | − | 7 | + | 5 | x |
= | 8 | + | 5 | x |
8 | + | 5 | x | = | 2 | x | + | ( | 5 | − | 3 | x | ) |
Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 5 | − | 3 | x |
= | - | 1 | x | + | 5 |
8 | + | 5 | x | = | - | 1 | x | + | 5 |
5 | x | + | 1 | x | = | 5 | − | 8 |
6 | x | = | 5 | − | 8 |
6 | x | = | - | 3 |
x | = | - | 3 | ÷ | 6 |
= | - | 3 | × | 1 6 |
= | - | 1 | × | 1 2 |
x | = | - | 1 2 |
x | = | - 0.5 |
