Question

Solve the following equations:
(1) 2(x - 3) = 14 - 3x
(ii) 5x + 7(x - 2) = 3 - 4(x + 6)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$1) \: \: \: 2(x - 3) = 14 - 3x \\ 2x - 6 = 14 - 3x \\ 2x + 3x = 14 + 6 \\ 5x = 20 \\ x = 4 \\ 2) \: \: \: \: \: \: 5x + 7(x - 2) = 3 - 4( x + 6) \\ 5x + 7x - 14 = 3 - 4x - 24 \\ 12x - 14 = - 4x - 21 \\ 12x + 4x = - 21 + 14 \\ 16x = - 7 \\ x = \frac{ - 7}{16}$

I hope it helps you
