show steps please
thanks!

Answer 1

x<-8

Explanation:

3x+14<-2x-26(combine and distribute)

3x+14-14<-2x-26-14(subtract 14 from both sides)

3x<-2x-40(add 2x to both sides)

5x<-40(divide both sides by 5

x<-8(this is your final answer)

Hope it helps!!

Answer 2

x < - 8

Explanation:

Given

3(x + 1) + 11 < - 2(x + 13) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

3x + 3 + 11 < - 2x - 26

3x + 14 < - 2x - 26 ( add 2x to both sides )

5x + 14 < - 26 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

5x < - 40 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x < - 8
