#1 Nope. subtract 10, and you have x/4=4
#2 Nope. 4-4x = -3x
#3 Nope. 2x = -2
Either you are trying to take shortcuts, or you really need to review how to collect terms and solve an equation.
1) X/4+10=14
A)96
B)46
C)16
D)-16
2) 2(2-2x)=-3x
A)-4
B)4
C)6
D)0
3) 3.75x+3.7=1.7+1.75x
A)10
B)-1
C)1
D).1

So it's C for number 1? @steve
correct
Thank you, now could you please explain the other two I'm just not getting it right
@steve
2(2-2x) = -3x
distribute the 2:
4-4x = -3x
now add 4x:
4 = x
---------------------------------------
3.75x+3.7 = 1.7+1.75x
subtract 1.75x:
2x + 3.7 = 1.7
subtract 3.7:
2x = -2
divide by 2:
x = -1
distribute the 2:
4-4x = -3x
now add 4x:
4 = x
---------------------------------------
3.75x+3.7 = 1.7+1.75x
subtract 1.75x:
2x + 3.7 = 1.7
subtract 3.7:
2x = -2
divide by 2:
x = -1
