2(6x+1)=14x-6

Answer 1

4=x

Explanation:

2(6x+1)=14x-6

12x+2=14x-6

+6+2=14x-12x

8=2x

4=x

Answer 2

`\boxed{x=4}`

Explanation:

`2(6x+1)=14x-6`

→ Expand brackets on left side

`12x+2=14x-6`

→ Minus 14x from both sides to collect the x terms

`-2x+2=-6`

→ Minus 2 from both sides to isolate 2x

`-2x=-8`

→ Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x

`x=4`
