7x - 3(-2) = 23
7x - - 6 = 23 (two minuses make a plus)
so it’s gonna be 7x + 6 = 23
Now you have isolate you x, so move everything else to the other side, but remember to change your sign when transferring to the other side
7x = 23 - 6
7x = 17
To isolate x in this multiple, you divide by 7 (because the inverse of multiplication is division)
x = 17/7
If u use the equation y=mx+b with m being the slop and b being the y-intercept.
X^2 - 5x - 14 = 0
what multiplies to negative 14 and adds to negative 5? -7 and positive 2.
(x - 7) (x + 2) = 0
Lesser x = -2
Greater x = 7
