3(x - 4) - 14 = 2(x - 7) + 6
⇒ 3x+ 3(-4) -14= 2x+ 2*7+ 6 (distributive property)
⇒ 3x -12 -14= 2x -14+ 6
⇒ 3x+ (-12 -14)= 2x+ (-14+ 6) (combine like terms)
⇒ 3x -26= 2x -8
⇒ 3x -2x= -8+ 26 (inverse operation)
⇒ x= 18

Final answer: x= 18.

3(x - 4) - 14 = 2(x - 7) + 6 \\ \\ 3x - 12 - 14 = 2x - 14 + 6 \ / \ expand \\ \\ 3x - 26 = 2x - 14 + 6 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 3x - 26 = 2x - 8 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 3x = 2x - 8 + 26 \ / \ add \ 26 \ to \ each \ side \\ \\ 3x = 2x + 18 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 3x - 2x = 18 \ / \ subtract \ 2x \ from \ each \ side \\ \\ x = 18 \ / \ simplify \\ \\

The final result is x = 18.

What is the distance between the<br> two points<br> (7.8)<br> {3,2)
Andreyy89

To find the exact difference, we have to subtract the two decimal points.

1. First, we'll subtract the whole number. Then, we'll subtract the decimal number. This will make mental math easier.

a. 7 - 3 = 4

b. 8 - 2 = 6

2. Add the answers together to get your final answer.

a. = 4.6

The exact distance between the two points is 4.6. If you can't figure this strategy out, do algorithm. The simplist way to solve this is to use a calculator, which I checked my answer on. Have a nice day! :)
