Answer:
[tex]x=2\frac{2}{17}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the distributive property. [tex]-3x+14+20x+72=122[/tex]
Reorder the equation to make it easier to combine common terms. [tex]-3x+20x+14+72=122[/tex]
Combine common terms. [tex]17x+86=122[/tex]
Subtract 86 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 17x. [tex]17x=36[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 17 to isolate the x. [tex]x[/tex]≈[tex]2.118[/tex] or [tex]x=2\frac{2}{17}[/tex]
