Answer:
x = 5.142
Step-by-step explanation:
2=-74+14x
if you want to make x the subject (work out its value), you need to single out x
1) the first thing that we can do is get rid of the -74
2) do this by adding it on to both sides of the equation. This is called the inverse
2+-74=-72 -74+14x=14x
-72=14x
3) to get x on its own, we now need to get rid of the 14
REMEMBER: 14x = 14×x
4) We do the inverse by dividing both sides by 14
-72÷14=-5.142...
its surprising that its not an integer
5.142=x
x=5.142
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS CORRECT
