Question

$$7x+2=3x+14$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$7x+2-3x=14$$

Combine $7x$ and $-3x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x+2=14$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$4x=14-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $14$ to get $12$.

$$4x=12$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$x=\frac{12}{4}$$

Divide $12$ by $4$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
