Question

Plx include steps and explanation

Answer 1

14 - 2x = 22, solve for x 

 

To solve, we must isolate x by using arithmetic operators ( -, +, *, ÷) to got x = ???

 

1)  14 - 2x = 22   , subtract 14 from both sides of equation

     -14         -14

 

            -2x = 8     , divide both sides of equation by -2

         ÷-2   ÷-2

 

                x = -4   , answer
