You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3

X<br> f(x) =<br> x2 + 4x<br> .<br> x2_4
PtichkaEL [24]
The answer is 1/(x+4)
Explanation:
You would factor out the denominator
So,
(X-4)(x+4)=x^2-16
So, x-4/(x+4)(x-4)
Then x-4 cancels each other out from the numerator and denominator
Leaving 1/x+4
