3x + 2(x − 9) = 8x + x − 14?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

first distribute the 2. then work to get x by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would i then combine like terms?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do after i get 5x - 18 = 9x - 14?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

subtract 5x from both sides. add 14 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x is -1

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes :)
