Solving Equations

x + 14 = 7x + 32 - 3x

Answer 1

-6

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+14=7x+32−3x

x+14=7x+32+−3x

x+14=(7x+−3x)+(32)(Combine Like Terms)

x+14=4x+32

x+14=4x+32

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

x+14−4x=4x+32−4x

−3x+14=32

Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.

−3x+14−14=32−14

−3x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x/−3=18/−3

x=−6
