What is the solution to this equation?
6x-14х+ 16 = -35 + 11
A. X= -5
B. x=-1
C. x= 5
D. x= 1

Answer 1

C. x = 5

Explanation:

6x - 14х + 16 = -35 + 11 combine like terms

(6x - 14x) + 16 = (-35 + 11)

-8x + 16 = -24 subtract 16 from both sides

-8x + 16 - 16 = -24 - 16

-8x = -40 divide both sides by (-8)

(-8x):(-8) = (-40):(-8)

x = 5
