Question

Solve the equation
14(3x-1)=2x-23

Answer 1

`x=(-9)/(40) \\`

Explanation:

Given Equation:

`14(3x-1)=2x-23`

Solving the bracket on L.H.S

`(14)(3x)-1(14)=2x-23`

`42x-14=2x-23`

Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants to other side

`42x-2x=-23+14\\\\40x=-9\\\\x=(-9)/(40) \\`

The value of 'x' after solving the equation is:

`x=(-9)/(40) \\`
