1) expand the brackets 6(-3 - x) - 2x = 14 -18 - 6x - 2x = 14 simplify -18 - 8x = 14 then add 18 to both sides to get the x's on there own -8x = 32 then divide by -8 x = 32/-8 x = -4
2) multiply everything by 7x 2 + (6 x 7x) + ( 17x × 7x) = 18 x 7x 2 + 42x + 119x^2 = 126x put everything on one side 119x^2 - 84x + 2 = 0 then use quadratic equation to solve
