Question

Answer: Part A: x = 6 Step-by-step explanation: 5(x + 2) = 6x + 3x - 14 use the distributive property for the left side of the equation (in case you don't know, * means multiply) combine like terms on the right of the equation. Move the +10 on the left to the right (change the + to a - ) Move the +9x on the right to the left (change the + to a - ) All the like terms are together so now you can combine them. Divide both sides by -4 so the x is by itself x = 6

Answer 1

Answer:

5x+10=6x+3x-14

5x+10=9x-14

-5x -5x

10=4x-14

-14 -14

-4=4x

÷4 ÷4

x= -1
