Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation is that

$5 \times - 2(2 \times - 7) = 2(3 \times - 2)$

solution

simplify equation by solving brackets

$5 x - 4x + 14 = 2(3x - 2)$

simplify

combine like term

$1x + 14 = 2(3x - 2)$

distribute

$x + 14 = 6x - 4$

substract 14 from both side of equation

$x + 14 - 14 = 6x - 4 - 14$

simplify

$x = 6x - 18$

substract 6x from both side of equation

$x - 6x = 6x - 18 - 6x$

simplify we get

$- 5x = - 18$

negative sign will be reduce from both side by simplifing we get

$x = \frac{18}{5}$
