Question

Solve the same equation where you divide by the coefficient first. Show your work using the sketch tool. 2(x - 3) = 14​

Answer 1

x = 10 :)

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(x−3)=14

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−3)=14

(2)(x)+(2)(−3)=14(Distribute)

2x+−6=14

2x−6=14

Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.

2x−6+6=14+6

2x=20

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
