Solve for x in the equation below.(x – 2) = –14(x – 8)

Sagot :

Answer:

x =38/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x – 2) = –14(x – 8)

Distribute

x-2 = -14x+112

Add 14x to each side

x-2+14x = -14x+14 +112

15x-2 = 112

Ad 2 to each side

15x-2+2 = 112+2

15x= 114

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 114/15

x=114/15

Divide top and bottom by 3

x =38/5
