Question

6(1+x)+x=-14
Please help solve for x

Answer 1

Answer x=-
`(20)/(7)`

Explanation:

6(1+x)+x=-14

(multiply bracket with 6)

6+6x+x=-14

(-6 for both sides)

6x+x=-20

(add x terms together)

7x=-20

(divide by 7 for both sides)

x=-
`(20)/(7)`

Answer 2

X is equal to -10

Explanation:

#1. Multiply 6 to (1+x). Doing this makes this equation: 6+x+x=-14

#2. Move 6 to the other side of the equation, to the side of the answer and change its abbsolute value. Doing this will make x+x=-14-6.

#3. Simplify both sides. 2x=-14-6 ----> 2x=-20

#4. divide -20 by 2, this equals -10. x is equal to -10. WooHoo!
