Question

What is 3(x-5)-14=2(x-7)+2

Answer 1

Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation,

First step, open the bracket

3(x-5)-14=2(x-7)+2

3x -15 -14 = 2x -14 +2

Then, add the like terms

3x - 29 = 2x -16

Transpose the values at the right hand side to the left hand side

3x - 2x = -16 + 29

x = 7
