Answer 1

For the given expression: 2(3 x+10)+14=28 , x = -1

Explanation:

Here, the given equation is:

2(3 x+10)+14=28

by the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A(B+C) = AB+ AC

Now, solving for the value of x , we get

2(3x) + 2(10) + 14 = 28

or, 6 x + 20 + 14 = 28

or, 6 x + 34 = 28

or, 6 x = 28 - 34 = -6

⇔ 6 x = -6 or, x = -6/6 = -1

or the value of x = -1

Hence, for the given expression: 2(3 x+10)+14=28 , x = -1
