Question

Solve for x～


`\bold{2x - 14x = 6}`

ty! :)​

Answer 1

`\bf x=-\cfrac{1}{2}`

`\bf x=-0.5`

Explanation:

`\bf 2x-14x=6`

Combine like terms:-

`\bf -12x=6`

Divide both sides by -12:-

`\bf \cfrac{-12x}{-12}=\cfrac{6}{-12}`

Simplify:-

`\bf x=-\cfrac{1}{2}`

Answer 2

Explanation:

`2x - 14x = 6`

`- 12x = 6`

Now divide both side by same factor

`( - 12x)/( - 12x ) = (6)/( - 12x) \\`

Now simplify ...

`x = - (1)/(2) \\`
