Here's one exactly like it with the numbers changed.
Follow it step by step with the numbers in your equation
y = 4[x-(5-x)]-7(x+1)
Replace y by 0
0 = 4[x-(5-x)]-7(x+1)
Remove the parentheses in -(5-x) as -5+x
and replace -(5-x) by -5+x
0 = 4[x-5+x]-7(x+1)
Replace x-5+x by 2x-5
0 = 4[2x-5]-7(x+1)
Use the distributive principle to replace
4[2x-5] by 8x-20
0 = 8x-20-7(x+1)
Use the distributive principle to replace
-7(x+1) by -7x-7
0 = 8x-20-7x-7
Combine like terms and replace the right side by x-29
0 = x-27
Add 27 to both sides
27 = x
Now do yours by following the same exact steps.
