−61 times the difference between a number and 56 is equal to the number plus −28. Find the equation.

Answer 1

-61(x-56) = x +(-28)

-61x + 3416 = x -28

-62x = -3416-28 = - 3444

x = 3444/62 = 55.5483871...=about 56

nope 0 doesn't = close to 28

try about 55

61 = about 27, much closer

try 55.5

30.5 = 27.5, very close

55.5483871 looks like it could make left&right very equal
