Question

4(x – 5) +2x = -14
So x=?

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

Step 1:Simplify both sides of the equation

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

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

4x+-120+2x=-14

4x+2x+-20-14

6x+-20=-14

6x-20=-14

Step 2: Add 20 to both sides

6x-20+20=-14+20

6x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6

6x/6=6/6

x=1
