Question

(2x+14)(x+14)=952 solve for x

Answer 1

i like these kinds of problems. lemme get some paper two secs.

Answer 2

thanx nd ok

Answer 3

x = 469

Answer 4

oh my how did u get tht can u please show me?

Answer 5

Just set each equation equal to 952 separately.

So 2x + 14 = 952
subtract 14 and then divide by 2 which leaves you with 469

then do the same for the other side. x+14 = 952 subtract 14 and that leaves you with 938

Answer 6

so how did u get 469?

Answer 7

for the first one it equals 469 second equation ='s 938 how do i choose between tha 2?

Answer 8

sorry kiss I had to change computers and couldn't finish what I was telling you.

Answer 9

I hope you see this, but if you look at the equation notice that the first part is 2 times x. Then look at the second part, it's just x +14.

Once you set both equations equal and found out what x was for each one. You were left with 469 and 938 both equaling x. Notice that both of the equations are the exact same except one is multiplying by 2 while the other doesn't, but they both add +14.

So it pretty much shows you that they equal the same thing, just one is being multiplied by 2, so you know to just divide by 2 for the original x value.

I hope that made sense. >_< I'm not very good at explaining math sadly. And sorry again for responding back so late.
