Answer:
x= 1/5
Explanation:
Remove parentheses.
15−7x−20=0.5(6x−14)
Simplify 15-7x-2015−7x−20 to -7x-5−7x−5.
-7x-5=0.5(6x-14)
−7x−5=0.5(6x−14)
3 Expand.
-7x-5=3x-7
−7x−5=3x−7
4 Add 7x7x to both sides.
-5=3x-7+7x
−5=3x−7+7x
5 Simplify 3x-7+7x3x−7+7x to 10x-710x−7.
-5=10x-7
−5=10x−7
6 Add 77 to both sides.
-5+7=10x
−5+7=10x
7 Simplify -5+7−5+7 to 22.
2=10x
2=10x
Divide both sides by 1010.
\frac{2}{10}=x
