Question

Ok, so I'm very confused on the answers that were given to me. 10x+14= -2+38

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`10x+14=-2+38`

notice that on the right side we have that -2+38=36, then, moving the 14 to the right side with the opposite sign, we get:

`\begin{gathered} 10x+14=36 \\ \Rightarrow10x=36-14=22 \\ \Rightarrow x=(22)/(10)=(11)/(5) \\ x=(11)/(5) \end{gathered}`

therefore, x = 11/5
