Question

14x - 10 = 3(4 + x)
Solving equations

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

14x - 10 = 3(4 + x)

Distribute the 3 on the right side of the equation.

14x - 10 = 12 + 3x

Add 10 to both sides of the equation.

14x = 22 + 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.

11x = 22

Divide both sides of the equation by 11.

x = 2

So we have found that x = 2.

x = 2 would be the solution to the equation.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Answer 2

x =2

Explanation:

14x - 10 = 3(4 + x)

Distribute

14x -10 = 12 +3x

Subtract 3x from each side

14x -10 -3x = 12+3x-3x

11x -10 = 12

Add 10 to each side

11x -10+10 = 12+10

11x = 22

Divide each side by 11

11x/11 =22/11

x =2
