Question

What is the value of X? 6(-3-x)-2x=14

Answer 1

First, simplify the equation to get this

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{-8x~-~18~=~14}\)

Do you know how to solve that equation?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Ok, so you first add 18 to both sides of the equation

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{-8x~-~18~+~18=~14~+~18}\)

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{-8x~=~14~+~18}\)

What is 14 + 18?

Answer 4

32

Answer 5

Correct, so


\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{-8x~=~32}\)

Now divide both sides of the equation by -8

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{\dfrac{-8x}{-8}=\dfrac{32}{-8}}\)

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{x=\dfrac{32}{-8}}\)

What is 32/-8?
