Question

solve the following equation
2(3x+7)=x-8

Answer 1

Answer:

If 2(3x+7)=x-8 then x = -22/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 2(3x+7)=x-8

Find: Value of x

2(3x+7)=x-8

2(3x) + 2 (7) = x - 8

6x + 14 = x - 8

6x - x = -8 - 14

5x =  -22

x = -22/5

Answer 2

In accordance with the information provided in the question,

We have find the value of the supplied expression in the above question.

Given the data in question 2(3x+7)=x-8

Arrange the equation $6x+14=x-8$

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side.

So, we will shift 14 from LHS to RHS,

So, we will shift $x$ from RHS to LHS,

So, we will get it as,

$\Rightarrow 6x+14=x-8\\\Rightarrow 6x-x=-8-14\\\Rightarrow 5x=-22\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{-22}{5} \\\Rightarrow x=-4.4$

Hence, value of "x" in above equation will be $-4.4$.
