Question

2.25x -20 = 6.5x +14

Answer 1

Answer: -8

Step-by-step explanation: 2.25x-20 = 6.5x +14

Subtract 14 on both sides and rearrange, 6.5x= 2.25x -34

then subtract 2.25x from both sides, 4.25x= -34

Finally divide both sides by 4.25 to get x = -8

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Explanation:

6.5x + 14 = 2.25x - 20

4.25x + 14 = -20
