Question

Solve equation in one variable algebraically

-2 (3x-1) + x = 14-x

Answer 1

Answer: x = -3

Explanation:

Given expression

-2 (3x - 1) + x = 14 - x

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

-6x + 2 + x = 14 - x

Combine like terms

(-6x + x) + 2 = 14 - x

-5x + 2 = 14 - x

Add x on both sides

-5x + 2 + x = 14 - x + x

-4x + 2 = 14

Subtract 2 on both sides

-4x + 2 - 2 = 14 - 2

-4x = 12

Divide -4 on both sides

-4x / -4 = 12 / -4

`\boxed{x=-3}`

Hope this helps!! :)
