Answer:

Here are a few equivalent equations:

112x + 784 = 20

112x = -764

x = -6.82

Explanation:

14(8x + 56) = 20

Multiply

112x + 784 = 20

Subtract 784 from both sides of the equation

112x = -764

x = -6.82

Hope this was useful to you!

Answer:

x = - 191/28

Explanation:

14 (8x + 56) = 20

112x + 784 = 20

112x = 20 - 784

112x = - 764

x = - 764/112

x = - 191/28
