Question

how do I solve for x in the following, 7(x+2)=-6+2x

Answer 1

Firstly use the distributive property to crack 7(x+2), then subtract both sides by 2x.

Answer 2

distribute the 7 with the (x+2) and then u should have 7x +14=-6+2x. then add 14 to both sides then subtract 2x from both sides and u should have 5x=-20. then divide by 5 and get x=-4

Answer 3

sorry subtract 14 from both sides

Answer 4

x=-4
