Question 518838
{{{4x+13=-9-3(x+9)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4x+13=-9-3x-27}}} Distribute.



{{{4x+13=-3x-36}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{4x=-3x-36-13}}} Subtract {{{13}}} from both sides.



{{{4x+3x=-36-13}}} Add {{{3x}}} to both sides.



{{{7x=-36-13}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{7x=-49}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-49)/(7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-7}}} Reduce.
