Question

What is the solution for x In the equation?
-2x+14+ 10x= 34

Answer 1

• -2x+14+10x=34
• 8x+14=34

Subtracting 14 from both sides, we get

• 8x+14-14=34-14
• 8x=20

Dividing both sides by 8, we get

• 8x/8=20/8
• x=2.5

Answer 2

Explanation:

-2x+14+ 10x= 34

8x +14 =34

8x= 34-14

8x = 20

x= 20/8

x= 5/2

x= 2.5
