Question

1. Solve the equation: - 2x + 8 = 3x + 14

Answer 1

-2x + 8 = 3x + 14

-2x - 3x = 14 - 8

-5x = 6 / : (-5)

x = -1,2

Answer 2

Answer: x = -6/5

Explanation:

Given equation

-2x + 8 = 3x + 14

Subtract 3x on both sides

-2x + 8 - 3x = 3x + 14 - 3x

-5x + 8 = 14

Subtract 8 on both sides

-5x + 8 - 8 = 14 - 8

-5x = 6

Divide -5 on both sides

-5x / -5 = 6 / -5

`\boxed{x = -(6)/(5) }`

Hope this helps!! :)
