Question 209348


{{{4(-3x+1)=-10(x-4)-14x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-12x+4=-10x+40-14x}}} Distribute.



{{{-12x+4=-24x+40}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-12x=-24x+40-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{-12x+24x=40-4}}} Add {{{24x}}} to both sides.



{{{12x=40-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12x=36}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(36)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{12}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3}}} Reduce.
