Question

The expression c(16x + 14) is equivalent to 32x +d. What are the values of c and d?

Answer 1

We are told that c(16x + 14) = 32x + d

Now, if 16x + 4 is multiplied by 2 we will have:

2(16x+14)=32x+28

then 32x + 28 = 32x + d

• ∴ d = 32x+28-32x
• d= 0+28
• d= 28

Since C(16x+14) = 32x+d

and 2 (16x+14) = 32x + d

then c = 2, d = 28
