1) x=2.8
2) x=1
Step-By-Step:
Q1) 2x + 2 - (2x - 14) = 5x + 2
Simply the expression
2x+2-2x+14=5x+2
collect like terms
(2x-2x) + (2+14) = 5x+2
simplify
16= 5x+2
swap sides
5x+2=16
-2 -2
5x=16-2
5x=14
to get x on its own we divide each side by 5 so
5x=14
÷5 ÷5
x= 2.8
Q2) 2x + 10 - (-2x + 7) = -7x + 14
Simply the expression
2x+10+2x-7= -7+14
collect like terms
(2x+2x)+(10-7)= -7+14
simplify
4x+3=7
-3 -3
4x+3-3=7-3
simplify
4x=7-3
4x=4
to get x on its own divide each side by 4 so...
4x=4
÷4 ÷4
x=1
Hope this helped- have a good day bro cya)
