Question 56367
{{{ -x-(13+4x) = -3(5-9x)+2 }}}
combine like terms on the left
{{{ 3x -13 = -3(5-9x)+2 }}}
distribute on the right
{{{ 3x -13 = -15 +27x +2 }}}
combine like terms on the right
{{{ 3x -13 = 27x -13 }}}
subtract 3x from both sides
{{{ -13 = 24x -13 }}}
add 13 to both sides
{{{ 0 = 24x }}}
divide by 24
{{{ 0 = x }}}
