Question

Solve the linear equation.

Answer 1

$7x+10=13(12x-3)+14x\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\7x+10=(13)(12x)+(13)(-3)+14x\\\\7x+10=156x-39+14x\\\\7x+10=170x-39\qquad\text{subtract 10 from both sides}\\\\7x=170x-49\qquad\text{subtract 170x from both sides}\\\\-163x=-49\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-163)}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{49}{163}}$
