Question

Solve this linear equation :
1. 5(3x+2)-2 = -2(1-7x )

2. 3x + 2 = 14

Answer 1

Answer for the first equation : x = -10

You have to solve the rational equation by combining expressions and isolating the variable "x".

Answer fro the second equation : x = 4

Move all the terms that don't contain "x" to the right side and solve.

Answer 2

For the first question the answer is : x = -10

And for the second question the answer is : x = 4

Explanation:

For the first Equation :

5(3x+2)-2 = -2(1-7x)

15x +10-2 = -2 +14x

15x + 8 = -2 + 14x

15x + 8 - 14x = -2 + 14x - 14x

x + 8 = -2

x+8-8 = -2 -8

x = -10

Answer : x = -10

For the second Equation :

3x+2 = 14

3x+2-2 = 14-2

3x = 12

3x/x = 12/3

x = 4

Answer : x = 4
