Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

 2 • (x + 10) -  48  = 0

STEP

2

:

STEP

3

:

Pulling out like terms

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  2x - 28  =   2 • (x - 14)

Equation at the end of step

3

:

 2 • (x - 14)  = 0

STEP

4

:

Equations which are never true:

4.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2      Solve  :    x-14 = 0

Add  14  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 14
