Question 1122066
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 I just don't understand the steps it takes to do equations like 4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8

Please explain to me in detail the steps it takes to solve 4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------



{{{4-7x+10=15-6x-8}}}


Collect and simplify like terms, and finally undo what is done to variable x.


{{{-7x+14=-6x+7}}}
{{{-7x+14-14+6x=-6x+7-14+6x}}}
{{{-7x+6x+0=0-7}}}
{{{-x=-7}}}
{{{highlight(x=7)}}}


Understand that steps can vary.


check the solution:
{{{4-7*7+10=15-6*7-8}}}
{{{4-49+10=15-42-8}}}
{{{-49+14=7-42}}}
{{{35=35}}}{{{solution}}}{{{works}}}.
