Answer 1

x = 24

Explanation:

3x-2(x-5)=14

remove the parentheses using distributive property

3x-2x-10=14

collect like terms

x-10=14

move constant to the right side and change the sign

x=14+10

calculate ( add the numbers together)

x = 24

Answer 2

3x-2 (x+5) =14
3x -2x -10 = 14
x -10 =14
10. 10. add 10 to both sides
x = 24
