4(3x+5)-14=2(x-7) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
4*(3*x+5)-14 = 2*(x-7)
Expand brackets in the left part
4*3*x+4*5-14 = 2*(x-7)
Expand brackets in the right part
4*3*x+4*5-14 = 2*x-2*7
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
6 + 12*x = 2*x-2*7
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$12 x = 2 x - 20$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$10 x = -20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 10
x = -20 / (10)
We get the answer: x = -2
