Question

$$4(14+4x)-3x=6x$$

Solve for x

$x=-8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $4$ by $14+4x$.

$$56+16x-3x=6x$$

Combine $16x$ and $-3x$ to get $13x$.

$$56+13x=6x$$

Subtract $6x$ from both sides.

$$56+13x-6x=0$$

Combine $13x$ and $-6x$ to get $7x$.

$$56+7x=0$$

Subtract $56$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$7x=-56$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$x=\frac{-56}{7}$$

Divide $-56$ by $7$ to get $-8$.

$$x=-8$$
