Question

8x - 14 = 7.7x + 3x

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

8x−14=7.7x+3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8x−14=7.7x+3x

8x+−14=7.7x+3x

8x−14=(7.7x+3x)(Combine Like Terms)

8x−14=10.7x

8x−14=10.7x

Step 2: Subtract 10.7x from both sides.

8x−14−10.7x=10.7x−10.7x

−2.7x−14=0

Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.

−2.7x−14+14=0+14

−2.7x=14

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.7.

−2.7x /−2.7  = 14 /−2.7

x=−5.185185 or 5.2
