Question

Solve the linear equation.

Answer 1

$7x+10=\dfrac{1}{3}(12x-3)+14x\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\7x+10=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot12x-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot3+14x\\\\7x+10=4x-1+14x\\\\7x+10=18x-1\qquad\text{substitute 10 from both sides}\\\\7x=18x-11\qquad\text{subtract 18x from both sides}\\\\-11x=-11\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-11)}\\\\\boxed{x=1}$
