1). 6x +3 + -5 + 14

6x +3 -5 + 14

6x + 12

2) 37 + 8x = 4(7-x)

37 + 8x = 28 - 4x (multiply each number in the () by 4)

8x + 4x = 28 - 37 (move like terms to each side by adding / subtracting)

12x = -9 (simplify)

x = -9/12 (simplify by dividing each fraction term by 3)

x = -3/4

3) 5(2 - x) = 7x - 26

10 - 5x = 7x - 26

10 + 26 = 7x + 5x

36 = 12x

36/12 = x

3 = x

1. i dont understand the question

2. Distribute the 4(7-x)...so 28-4x

then 37+8x=28-4x. subtract 28 from 37 and 8x from 4x... so 9= -12x

divide 9 by -12, so x= -3/4

3. distribute 5(2-x) so 10-5x=7x-26

add 26 to 10 and 5 to 7

so 36=12x. divide by 12. so x=3

6x +3+(-5) +14

6x + 3- 5 + 14

6x -2 +14

6x+ 12

6(x+2)

2. 37 + 8x = 4(7-x)

37 + 8x = 28-4x

37 - 37 +8x + 4x = 28 -37 - 4x +4x

12x = - 9

x= =9/12 = -3/4

3 5(2-x) = 7x-26

10-5x = 7x -26

10-10 - 5x =7x-26-10

-5x = 7x -36

-12x = -36

x =3

1st answer:

Put the x on one side meaning it would look like this 6x=16 and then devide 6 from 12.

Result: x=2

2nd answer:

same thing but use distributive property on the second side.

Multiply 4 to 7 and to x.

Result- 37 + 8x= 28 - 4x then put x on one side (8x - 4x) and add 37 and 28 on the other side----> 4x=65. Devide

Result: x= 16.25

3rd answer: use distributive property on the first side (5 x 2= 10 and 5 x X= 5x).

Result 10 - 5x=7x - 26

Move x on one side and numbers on others-----> 2x = -16

devide -16/2

Result: x = -8
