<PRE><B>Question 848555</B>
1. -3(x-14)=42

2. 2-x+4=5


Thanks! Please help, need answers ASAP! Thank you so much!

P.S.
For #1 I thought the answer was x=0 because if you subtract 14 from 0 it would equal -14 and -3*(-14)=42.
Sub 0 for x
-3(0-14) = 42?
42 = 42 so it&#39;s right.
---------------
For #2 I thought the answer was x=1 because 2-1=1 and 1+4=5
2. 2-x+4=5
2 - 1 + 4 = 5?
6-1 = 5?
5 = 5 also correct
=========================
Check them like that.
