Question

6(1+x)+x=-14 Please help solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer x=-$\frac{20}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

6(1+x)+x=-14

(multiply bracket with 6)

6+6x+x=-14

(-6 for both sides)

6x+x=-20

(add x terms together)

7x=-20

(divide by 7 for both sides)

x=-$\frac{20}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer:

X is equal to -10

Step-by-step explanation:

#1. Multiply 6 to (1+x). Doing this makes this equation: 6+x+x=-14

#2. Move 6 to the other side of the equation, to the side of the answer and change its abbsolute value. Doing this will make x+x=-14-6.

#3. Simplify both sides. 2x=-14-6  ---->  2x=-20

#4. divide -20 by 2, this equals -10. x is equal to -10. WooHoo!
