Question

3(4x -2) - 14 = 2(6 - 2x)

Answer 1

Do the Distributive Property and then isolate x... :-)
3(4x-2) = ?
2(6-2x) = ?

Answer 2

12x-6-14=12-4x

Answer 3

O_O that was fast...
Alright yes, can you do it from here? :-D
Just isolate the x ^-^

Answer 4

-8=8x?

Answer 5

Well, let's see.\[12x-6-14=12-4x\]\[12x-20=12-4x\]\[12x+4x=22\]\[16x=22\]...? *checks on paper* lol

Answer 6

Yep, it's right o_e
Does the question have a fraction/decimal answer?

Answer 7

x = -4
x = -2
x = -1
x = 2
x = 3
no the answers are

Answer 8

O_O ... ?!

Answer 9

and i had got -1

Answer 10

oh? how did you do the problem :-O

Answer 11

subtracted 12-6-14 i had got -8 then i subtracted 12-4 and got 8 so then i divided those and got -1

Answer 12

Oh... idk how I did it wrong at first but I believe the answer is 16x=32.
So starting from here; 12x-6-14=12-4x...\[12x-6=26-4x\]\[16x=32...\]

Answer 13

It's not 12-4, it's 12-(-4), you have a sign error

Answer 14

so doing it your way x=2

Answer 15

Yep https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=12x-6-14%3D12-4x

Answer 16

12x - 6 -14 = 12 - 4x
12x -20 = 12 - 4x
12x + 4x =12 + 20
16 x = 32
x =32/16
x=2

Answer 17

Yeah, I did that. I don't know how I got it wrong at first, but it's that lol

Answer 18

Proof: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=3%284x-2%29-14%3D2%286-2x%29
It's x=2 lol

Answer 19
