Answer:X = 2
Explanation:
Apply the distributive property.
2x+2⋅5+4(x−9)=−142x+2⋅5+4(x-9)=-14
Multiply 22 by 55.
2x+10+4(x−9)=−142x+10+4(x-9)=-14
Apply the distributive property.
2x+10+4x+4⋅−9=−142x+10+4x+4⋅-9=-14
Multiply 44 by −9-9.
2x+10+4x−36=−142x+10+4x-36=-14
Simplify by adding terms.
6x−26=−146x-26=-14
Move all terms not containing xx to the right side of the equation.
Add 2626 to both sides of the equation.
6x=−14+266x=-14+26
Add −14-14 and 2626.
6x=126x=12
Divide each term by 66 and simplify.
Divide each term in 6x=126x=12 by 66.
6x6=1266x6=126
Cancel the common factor of 66.
x=126x=126
Divide 1212 by 66.
x=2
