-36=-6(2x-14)

1 answer

To solve the equation, let's distribute the -6 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-36 = -6 * 2x - (-6 * 14)
-36 = -12x + 84

Next, let's isolate the variable by subtracting 84 from both sides:

-36 - 84 = -12x + 84 - 84
-120 = -12x

Now, divide both sides of the equation by -12 to solve for x:

-120 / -12 = -12x / -12
10 = x

So the solution to the equation is x = 10.
