Question

Solve the equation 14(3x-1)=2x-23

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{-9}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

           $14(3x-1)=2x-23$

Solving the bracket on L.H.S

        $(14)(3x)-1(14)=2x-23$

             $42x-14=2x-23$

Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants to other side

                 $42x-2x=-23+14\\\\40x=-9\\\\x=\frac{-9}{40}$

The value of 'x' after solving the equation is:

                            $x=\frac{-9}{40}$
