Question

11) -14 - 8x = -2(-3x + 7)
Needing some help with this

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

-14-8x=6x-14(cancel equal terms)

-8x=6x(move the variable to the left)

-8x-6x=0(collect like terms)

-14x=0Divide both sides)

x=0

Answer 2

x = 0

Explanation:

First, distribute the -2 to the parentheses:

-14 - 8x = -2(-3x + 7)

-14 - 8x = 6x - 14

Add 14 to both sides:

-8x = 6x

Subtract 6x from both sides:

-14x = 0

Divide each side by -14:

x = 0

So, x = 0
