anyone know this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you distribute the left and right sides first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a fraction right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First distribute 2 and 7 to the parentheses to get 14x + 8 = 4x - 12 + 6x + 7 then we solve for x 14x + 8 = 10x - 5 4x + 8 = -5 4x = -13 x = -13/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So yes, it is indeed a fraction
