Step-by-step explanation: hope it helps:)

Answer 2

Answer: $x=\frac{5}{2}$  

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression:

$-2x+14+10x=34$

$\left(-2x+10x\right)+14=34$

$8x+14=34$

Group all constants on the right side of the equation:

$8x+14-14=34-14$

$8x=34-14$

$8x=20$

Isolate the x:

$\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{20}{8}$

$x=\frac{20}{8}$

$x=\frac{5\cdot 4}{2\cdot 4}$

$x=\frac{5}{2}$

The $CORRECT$answer to this solution is: $x=\frac{5}{2}$
