Question

Please help!
14+5x+6+8x

Answer 1

13x+20

Explanation:

To solve this equation:

14+5x+6+8x

We first have to rearrange the terms to like terms are next to each other to make it easier to solve:

14+6+5x+8x

Next, we can separate this equation and combine like terms into parenthesis:

(14+6)+(5x+8x)

Next, solve for the expressions in parenthesis:

(20)+(13x)

Then, take away the parenthesis:

20+13x

Rearrange so the x coefficient is in front:

13x+20

So, our finished expression is 13x+20

Hope this helps and clarifies! :)
