Question

If x=14 which equation is true

A. 3(20-x)=44
B. 3(12-x)=6
C. 2(x-3)=22
D. 2x-3=22

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

To figure the answer out, plug in the number 14 to X.
Let's try A first
3(20-14)=44
20 - 14 = 6
3 x 6 ≠ 44
A is not an option
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now B
3(12-14)=6
12 - 14 = -2
2 x -2 ≠ 6
B is not an option
---------------------------------------------------
Now C
2(14-3)=22
14 - 3 = 11
2 x 11 = 22
C is Correct
---------------------------------------------------------------
C is your answer =D
