2x - 5 = 4(9x - 2) + 71
2x - 5 = 36x - 8 + 71
2x - 5 = 36x + 63
2x - 5 + 5 + 36x + 63 + 5
2x = 36X + 68
2x - 36x = 36x - 36x + 68
-34X = 68
x/-34 = 68/-34
x = -2
2(-2) - 5 = 4{(9*-2) -2} + 71
-4 - 5 = 4(-18 - 2) + 71
-9 = -72 - 8 + 71
-9 = -80 + 71
-9 = -9

2X= 4 x ((9X-2) + 71) + 5 or ....
2X = 36X - 8 + 4x71 +5 or ....
-34X = -8 + 284 +5 = 281
thus .... 34X = - 281 or ...
X = - 281/34 = -8.2647
At least I think that's how I did it 65 years ago at school !!! (grin)
