Answer 1

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5(3x-4)=14

Distribute

2x + 15x -20 = 14

Combine like terms

17x -20 = 14

Add 20 to each side

17x-20+20 =14+20

17x = 34

Divide by 17

17x/17 = 34/17

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5(3x-4)=14

distribute 5 into (3x-4)

2x+15x-20=14

combine like terms

17x-20=14

add -20 on both sides

17x=34

divide both sides by 17

$\frac{17x}{17} =\frac{34}{17}$

x=2

hope this helps
