Question 197973
{{{12x+6=31-2x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12x=31-2x-6}}} Subtract {{{6}}} from both sides.



{{{12x+2x=31-6}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{14x=31-6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{14x=25}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(25)/(14)}}} Divide both sides by {{{14}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=25/14}}} which approximates to {{{x=1.786}}}.
