3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x

Distribute 3 throught the parentheses

42 - 15x = 16-12x

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

42 - 15x + 12x = 16

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 15x+12x=16 - 42

Collect like terms

- 3x =  - 26

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

\boxed{x =  \frac{26}{3} }

  • \sf \: 3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x

  • \sf \: 42 - 15x = 16 - 12x

  • \sf \:  - 15x + 12x = 16 - 42

  • \sf \:  - 3x =  - 26

  • \sf x =  \frac{ \cancel -26}{  \cancel- 3}

  • \large   \boxed{\sf \underline{ \color{green}x =  \frac{26}{ 3} }}

What is the difference between dash and hyphen
UNO [17]
Hyphens and Dashes. A hyphen joins two or more words together while a dash separates words into parenthetical statements. The two are sometimes confused because they look so similar, but their usage is different. Hyphens are not separated by spaces, while a dash has a space on either side.

Samantha is making soup. to make the broth, she combines 2/5 cup of vegetable stock and 2/3 cup of chicken soup stock. Boiling
storchak [24]
First,you do,2/5+2/3,but since you will need a common denominator,you will find the least common denominator for 5 and 3.The LCD(Least Common Denominator) will be 15 since both 5 and 3 could go in 15.Now,the equation looks like this: 2/15+2/15 since whatever you do to the bottom numbers,you NEED to do to the top numbers:2 and 2.Now you will need to do,2x3,since 5x3=15 and the answer to 2x3=6 then you do 2x5,since 3x5=15 the answer is 10 now the equation looks like this:6/15+10/15 now you add them together,and the answer will be 16/15 and if you want the answer to be a mixed number,it would look like this: 1 1/15. Hope this helps!
