Question

What would be the steps to solving this problem? 1" title="\frac{1}{3}" alt="\frac{1}{3}" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">(6x+30)=6x-2(x-7)

Answer 1

1/3(6x+30)=6x-2(x-7)
simplify
2x+10=6x-2x+14
collect like terms
2x+10=4x+14
-14 from both sides
2x-4=4x
-2x from both sides
-4=2x
divide both sides by 2
-2=x

therefore x=-2

Answer 2

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.

X = -2

Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
