Question

.

Answer 1

No problem. oK so lets work it out :-)

Answer 2

See we first open the bracket
so it'll be -2 * (-1/2x+7)

Answer 3

which will be 2/2x+7

Answer 4

correct?

Answer 5

@ShuwenWei tell me one thing then. I have a little doubt the whole thing as in 2x +7 is in the denominator in the bracket right?

Answer 6

Do a thing divide the whole thing, as in lhs and rhs by 2

Answer 7

It'll be easier then

Answer 8

All you'll have left then will be 5x/2 = 1 + the thing in the bracket

Answer 9

right thanks^

Answer 10

You getting the steps @ShuwenWei

Answer 11

..?

Answer 12

Yeah so next is rhs has 2x+8/2x+7

Answer 13

5x/2 = 2x+8/2x+7

Answer 14

5x*2x+7 = (2x+8)*2

Answer 15

10x^2 + 35x = 4x + 16

Answer 16

now,
10x^2 + 31x - 16 = 0

Answer 17

Comprending @ShuwenWei ?

Answer 18
