The **equivalent **value of the **expression **x - (4x - 7) = 5x - (x + 21) is x =
Given data:
To solve the **equation **x - (4x - 7) = 5x - (x + 21), we simplify the expressions and combine like terms to find the value of x.
Expanding the parentheses, we have:
x - 4x + 7 = 5x - x - 21
Combining like terms on both sides of the equation :
-3x + 7 = 4x - 21
Next, we want to isolate the variable x. To do this, we will move all terms involving x to one side of the equation and constants to the other side.
-7x = -28
Divide by -7 on both sides:
x = 4
Hence, the **solution **is x = 4
