Question

Can sombody please help me solve this: x + 14 = 7x + 32 – 3x

Answer 1

x=-6

Explanation:

x+14=7x+32-3x

x+14=7x-3x+32 group like terms

x+14=4x+32 add similar element

x+14-14=4x+32-14 subtract 14 from both sides

x=4x+18 simplify

x-4x=4x+18-4x subtract 4 from both sides

-3x=18

then divide both sides by 3

and then simplify

then u get x=-6

Answer 2

x+14 = 7x+32-3x

x+14 = 4x+32

-x -x

14 = 3x+32

-32 -32

-18 = 3x

/3 /3

-6 = x

x = -6
