Question

3(x + 2) = 2x + 14
How many solutions

Answer 1

I solution; x=8

Explanation:

You have to solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation and then isolating the variable

3(x+2)= 2x+14

Distributive Property

3x+6=2x+14

Isolate the variable

3x+6-6=2x+14-6 which is 3x=2x+8

3x-2x=2x-2x+8

x=8
