Question

anonymous · Answer

the sum of x and 14 is x+14. x multiplied by 3 is 3x. so we have x+14=3x. do you know how to solve those equations

no thats why im here the algebra teacher didnt give me nuthin to show me what i need to do :/

anonymous · Answer

ok no problem. the first thing you do is get all of the x's onto one side. x-3x=-14
do you get how i did that

ashy98 · Answer

yeah a little bet !(:

anonymous · Answer

ok thats good. the second thing you need to do is to simplify it. x-3x=-2x so the equation becomes -2x=-14. does that make sense
