HELP!!!!! ASAP DUE AT 2 PM ES!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

the value of x that makes this equation true is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 6) + x + 14 = 4(x - 3) + 5

open the parenthesis

2x - 12 + x + 14 = 4x - 12 + 5

add 12 to both sides of the equation

2x - 12 + 12 + x + 14 = 4x - 12 + 12 + 5

2x + x + 14 = 4x + 5

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

2x + x + 14 - 5 = 4x + 5 - 5

3x + 14 - 5 = 4x

3x + 9 = 4x

subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

3x - 3x + 9 = 4x - 3x

9 = 4x - 3x

9 = x

check the answer:

2(x - 6) + x + 14 = 4(x - 3) + 5

2(9 - 6) + 9 + 14 = 4(9 - 3) + 5

29 = 29
