Answer:
x = 5.142
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>2=-74+14x</em>
if you want to make x the subject (work out its value), you need to single out x
1) the first thing that we can do is get rid of the -74
2) do this by adding it on to both sides of the equation. This is called the inverse
<em>2+-74=-72 -74+14x=14x</em>
<em>-72=14x</em>
3) to get x on its own, we now need to get rid of the 14
REMEMBER:<em> 14x = 14×x</em>
4) We do the inverse by dividing both sides by 14
<em>-72÷14=-5.142..</em>.
its surprising that its not an integer
<em>5.142=x</em>
<em>x=5.142 </em>
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS CORRECT
