Answer:
x= -31
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
3(2x−14)+x=15−(−9x−5)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(2x−14)+x=15−(−9x−5)
3(2x−14)+x=15+−1(−9x−5)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
3(2x−14)+x=15+−1(−9x)+(−1)(−5)
3(2x−14)+x=15+9x+5
(3)(2x)+(3)(−14)+x=15+9x+5(Distribute)
6x+−42+x=15+9x+5
(6x+x)+(−42)=(9x)+(15+5)(Combine Like Terms)
7x+−42=9x+20
7x−42=9x+20
Step 2: Subtract 9x from both sides.
7x−42−9x=9x+20−9x
−2x−42=20
Step 3: Add 42 to both sides.
−2x−42+42=20+42
−2x=62
Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x
−2
=
62
−2
x=−31
