Question 119911: Find all values of x so that y = 0
y=5[x-(7-x)] - 9(x+1)
I have followed their minute details and still get it wrong - HELP
I've tried:
0=5[x-7+x] - 9(x+1) (distributive property in brackets)
0=5[2x-7] - 9(x+1) (combining likes in the bracket)
0=10x - 35 - 9x -9
0=x -44 ?????????
where am I going wrong?
Thanks - Nancy

Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I see nothing wrong with your work.
The conclusion should be written as:

To check your solution, substitute x = 44 into the original equation and solve for y.
Substitute x = 44

Your solution (x = 44) is correct!
