Question

Solve for x ~

`3 \: (14 - 5x) =16 - 12x`

thankyou ~​

Answer 1

• 
  `\sf \: 3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x`

• 
  `\sf \: 42 - 15x = 16 - 12x`

• 
  `\sf \: - 15x + 12x = 16 - 42`

• 
  `\sf \: - 3x = - 26`

• 
  `\sf x = ( \cancel -26)/( \cancel- 3)`

• 
  `\large \boxed{\sf \underline{ \color{green}x = (26)/( 3) }}`

Hope Helps~
