Here are the steps to calculating the given equation:
Distribute 2 to x and 6: 2x-12+14=38
Group like terms: 2x+(-12+14)=38
Combine like terms: 2x+2=38
Subtract number on 'x' side: 2x+2-2=38-2
Simplify: 2x=36
Divide: 2x/2=36/2
Simplify: x=18
Label with correct terms:
I cannot do this because you did not provide sufficient information, I would need to know what the difference between the two, or if 'x' stood for one particular temperature. Hope that helped enough with what you provided.
F=5 dollar bills
t=twent dollar bills
38 total bills
f+t=38
400 in bills
400=5f+20t
we have
f+t=38
5f+20t=400
multipy first equation by -5 and add to second equation
-5f-5t=-190
5f+20t=400 +
0f+15t=210
15t=210
divide both sides by 15
t=14
subsitute
t+f=38
15+f=38
f=23
23 five dolar bills
15 twenty dollar bills
