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.

Given; D is the Midpoint of CE / Prove DE =1/2CE
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a prove;

Mathematically , since D is the midpoint of CE

Then;

CE = CD + DE

Also, since D splits the line segment into two equal parts as the midpoint, then CD must be equal to DE

I.e CD = DE

Hence, we can express CE as follows;

CE = DE + DE

CE = 2 DE

Divide both sides by 2

CE/2 = DE

Hence; DE = 1/2 CE
