Question

Solve for x143x = 46

Answer 1

You have the following equation:

14 - 3x = 46 - x

In order to solvet the previous equation for x, you proceed as follow:

14 - 3x = 46 - x subtract 14 and sum x both sides

-3x + x = 46 - 14 simplify similar terms

-2x = 32 divide by -2 both sides

x = 32/(-2) = -16

x = -16

Hence, the solution of the given equation is x = -16
