2(3x - 4) = 5x + 6
6x - 8 = 5x + 6
6x - 5x = 6 + 8
x = 14 <==

First, you would distribute 2 into the parentheses so you would have 6x-8= 5x+6. Subtract 5x from both sides so you have x-8=6. Finally, add 8 to both sides which leaves you with x= 14

How would I find the difference of 7/8 - 1/3 ?

Answer:

$\frac{13}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two fractions and are being asked to subtract them.

7/8 and 1/3 don't have the same denominator, so to do as so, we need to find the LCM of both denominators, multiply them to that, and do the same for the numerators.

So what is the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 8 and 3?

24.

Therefore :

$\frac{7 * 3}{8 * 3} - \frac{1*8}{3*8}$
