PLEASE HELP!!<br><br> Solve the equation. Please show your math work step by step. 5x −14=−34
MrMuchimi

Hey

The Answer is -4x


Heres the Step by Step work


You add 14 to each side because it is negative, so

5x-14=-34

    +14|+14

and you will end up with

5x=-20

Divide 5 on each side, so

5x=-20

/5x | /5x


-20 / 5x =

x=-4

 or

-4x
