Answer:
5(x+2)=6x+3x−14
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5(x+2)=6x+3x−14
(5)(x)+(5)(2)=6x+3x+−14(Distribute)
5x+10=6x+3x+−14
5x+10=(6x+3x)+(−14)(Combine Like Terms)
5x+10=9x+−14
5x+10=9x−14
Step 2: Subtract 9x from both sides.
5x+10−9x=9x−14−9x
−4x+10=−14
Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.
−4x+10−10=−14−10
−4x=−24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x
