Answer: x = 10
Explanation: To solve this equation for <em>x</em>, we start by distributing the 2 through the parentheses on the left side.
So we have 2 times <em>x</em> which is 2x and 2 times -3 which is -6. So our equation now reads 2x - 6 = 14.
Solving from here,
we add 6 to both sides of the equation and we have 2x = 20 and dividing both sides by 2, we find that <em>x = 10</em>.
We can check our answer by substituting a 10 back in for <em>x</em> in the original equation and we have 2(10 - 3) = 14.
10 - 3 is 7 so we have 2(7) = 14 or 14 = 14 which is a true statement so our answer checks.

First measurement=44 mm
Second measurement=7.6 cm
=7.6*10 mm
=76 mm
Ratio=76:44
=19:11
Hope this helps
Hey there!
150 = 8x + 6y
↠ 150 = 8x + 6(9)
↠ 8x + 6(9) = 150
↠ 8x + 54 = 150
SUBTRACT 54 to BOTH SIDES
8x + 54 - 54 = 150 - 54
CANCEL out: 54 - 54 because that gives you 0
KEEP: 150 - 54 because helps solve for x
↣150 - 54 = 96↢
NEW EQUATION: 8x = 96
DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES
8x/8 = 96/8
CANCEL out: 8/8 because that gives you 1
KEEP: 96/8 because that gives the value of x
96/8 = x
x = 12
Answer: x = 12
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
