Question 611343
{{{-3x-3(x+5)=14}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-3x-3x-15=14}}} Distribute.



{{{-6x-15=14}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-6x=14+15}}} Add {{{15}}} to both sides.



{{{-6x=29}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(29)/(-6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-29/6}}} Reduce.



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


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-29/6}}}
