2 answers:
-2(x+14)+1=15
distribute
-2x - 14 + 1 = 15
add 14 to each side
-2x + 1 = 29
subtract one from each side
-2x = 28
divided by -2
x = -14
-2(x+14)+1=5
First, distribute -2 into x and 14.
-2x-28+1=5
Combine like terms.
-2x-27=5
Add 27 to both sides.
-2x=32
Divide both sides by -2.
x=-16
Your answer is -16.
I hope this helps :)
