2(3x + 7) = -22
6x + 14 = -22
6x = -22 - 14
6x = -36
x = - 36/6
x = -6

or this way...
2(3x + 7) = -22...divide both sides by 2
3x + 7 = -22/2
3x + 7 = -11
3x = -11- 7
3x = -18
x = -18/3
x = -6

<span>2(3x + 7) = -22
Use distributive property
6x+14=-22
Subtract 14 from both sides
6x=-36
Divide 6 on both sides
Final Answer: x=-6</span>

Well read the story part of your paragraph. You need to cut out all of the extra stuff and focus on how fast they are going. Then make a chart symbolizing this to find where they directly meet:) If you are able submit the chart with your answer

Gradient of a straight line that is perpendicular to y = 4x + 2

lana66690 [7]

If a line's slope is $\frac{a}{b}$ , the slope of the perpendicular line is $-\frac{b}{a}$
in this case, the given line has a slope 4, which is 4/1, so the perpendicular line has a slope/gradient $-\frac{1}{4}$
