Question

Help me solve for x in:
14-(6x-5)+5(2x-1)-4x

step by step so I understand, thank you!

Answer 1

did you get my message?

Answer 2

14-(6x-5)=5(2x-1)-4x

First, distribute to get rid of parenthesis
14 - 6x + 5 = 10x -5 - 4x

Next, combine like terms on each side and last, get the x all by itself.

so you combine terms and tell me what you got

Answer 3

at the end, yes you will put x on one side and numbers on the other. But first, combine the like terms on each side before you start moving things around...

Answer 4

I did, and thanks

Answer 5

I did this:
14-6x+5=10x-5-4x
then I added six on both sides

14-5=16x-5-4x
then I added 5 on both sides

14=16x-10-4x
then I made the 16x- -4x and got -20x

so i did 14=-20x - 10

then made it =10 and put it on the other side

14+10=24

24=-20x

I don't know how I can divide that.
