Question

What is 14 + 5x = 3 ( -x + 3 ) - 11

Answer 1

Answer:

X = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand equation:

14 + 5x - 14 = -3x - 2 - 14

Subtract 14 from both sides:

14 + 5x - 14 = -3x - 2 - 14

Simplify:

5x = -3x - 16

Add 3x to both sides:

5x + 3x = -3x - 16 + 3x

Divide both sides by 8:

8x / 8 = -16 / 8

Simplify:

X = -2

Answer 2

14+5x=3(-x+3)-11  

(5x + 14) -  (3 • (3 - x) -  11)  = 0  

3.1     Pull out like factors

 8x + 16  =   8 • (x + 2)  

8 • (x + 2)  = 0  

4.1      Solve :    8   =  0

4.2      Solve  :    x+2 = 0  

x = -2
