Question

5(x-4)+2x=14 help me find the answer x=?

Answer 1

Exact Form:
x = 34/7

Decimal Form:
x= 4. 857142

Mixed Number Form:
x= 4 6/7

Answer 2

Answer:

x = - 6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 5 (x - 4) first --> 5x - 20

Combine like-terms: 5x - 20 + 2x = 14 --> 7x - 20 = 14

Subtract 20 on both sides: 7x = -6

Divide both sides by 7: x = -6/7
