5x-2(7x+1)=14x

5 x - 2 (7 x + 1) = 14 x

x = - \frac{2}{23}

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.08695 \dots

Solution steps

5 x - 2 (7 x + 1) = 14 x

Expand

- 2 (7 x + 1) : - 14 x - 2

5 x - 14 x - 2 = 14 x

Add similar elements:

5 x - 14 x = - 9 x

- 9 x - 2 = 14 x

Move

2

to the right side

- 9 x = 14 x + 2

Move

14 x

to the left side

- 23 x = 2

Divide both sides by

- 23

x = - \frac{2}{23}

\frac{5}{9} p = - 10

t + 10 - 4 t = - 11

x, 2 x - 5 y + 2 z = 7

- 9 z + 2 = 11

9 x - 7 = 29
