HI!!

OpenStudy (demonchild99):

lol..hiii can u help plz?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

remove the parentheses using the distributive law, and combine like terms before you do anything else

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[5x+14-2x\]is the same as \[3x+14\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[9-(4x+2)=9-4x-2=7-4x\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

solve \[3x+14=7-4x\] in 3 steps

OpenStudy (misty1212):

1) add \(4x\) 2)subtract \(14\) 3) divide by \(7\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

OpenStudy (demonchild99):

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[3x+14=7-4x\\ 7x+17=7\\ 7x=-7\\ x=-1\] \[\color\magenta\heartsuit\]
