Question

4x+9-14x=3(4x-7) help solve please, with steps

Answer 1

Alright, we have:
4x + 9 -14x = 3(4x-7)
Let's start by distributing that 3. What would the equation look like after doing that?

Answer 2

4x+9-14x=12x-21

Answer 3

4x+9-14x=3(4x-7) first distribute the 3
4x+9-14x=12x-21 then add like terms
-10x+9=12x-21 add 21 to both sides
-10x+30=12x
+10x +10x
30=22x
x=30/22

Answer 4

Sweet! Yep, okay, now combine like terms. What's it look like after doing that?
