Question 116702


{{{-2(x-7)=4x+10}}} Start with the given equation




{{{-2x+14=4x+10}}} Distribute



{{{-2x=4x+10-14}}}Subtract 14 from both sides



{{{-2x-4x=10-14}}} Subtract 4x from both sides



{{{-6x=10-14}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-6x=-4}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(-4)/(-6)}}} Divide both sides by -6 to isolate x




{{{x=2/3}}} Reduce


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

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=2/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=0.666666666666667}}} in decimal form)
