Question 254591

{{{14-9x=-8(10+x)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{14-9x=-80-8x}}} Distribute.



{{{-9x=-80-8x-14}}} Subtract {{{14}}} from both sides.



{{{-9x+8x=-80-14}}} Add {{{8x}}} to both sides.



{{{-x=-80-14}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x=-94}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-94)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=94}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=94}}}
