Question 396220


{{{2(4x-7)-3x=x+14}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x-14-3x=x+14}}} Distribute.



{{{5x-14=x+14}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=x+14+14}}} Add {{{14}}} to both sides.



{{{5x-x=14+14}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{4x=14+14}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x=28}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(28)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=7}}} Reduce.
