what is my next step? 5(x+4)= 7(x-2) 5x+20=7x-14

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Shuffle, add like terms.

You isolate the Xs. So you would subtract 5x from each side and add 14 to each side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would then have 34 = 2x. Divide 2 from both sides; 17 = x.

thank you 17 is correct!
