Answer 1

I think I'm wrong

Answer 2

One second let me solve it :)

Answer 3

ok :)

Answer 4

No

Answer 5

Simplifying
-7(x + -4) + 8x = 12 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-7(-4 + x) + 8x = 12 + 14
(-4 * -7 + x * -7) + 8x = 12 + 14
(28 + -7x) + 8x = 12 + 14

Combine like terms: -7x + 8x = 1x
28 + 1x = 12 + 14

Combine like terms: 12 + 14 = 26
28 + 1x = 26

Solving
28 + 1x = 26

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-28' to each side of the equation.
28 + -28 + 1x = 26 + -28

Combine like terms: 28 + -28 = 0
0 + 1x = 26 + -28
1x = 26 + -28

Combine like terms: 26 + -28 = -2
1x = -2

Divide each side by '1'.
x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2 is ur answer
