Don't know what the big deal is here, but ...
4(x - 7) - 2x = 0
4x - 28 - 2x = 0
2x = 28
x = 14
Blank 1: -14
Blank 1: 4x + (-2x) = 0
To solve this equation, we need to combine the like terms on the left side of the equation.
Blank 2: 2x
By combining 4x and -2x, we get 2x.
Now the equation becomes: 2x = 0.
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Blank 3: x = 0
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get x = 0.
So the correct values to fill in the blanks are:
Blank 1: 4x + (-2x) = 0
Blank 2: 2x
Blank 3: x = 0
Blank 1: -26
Blank 2: 28
Blank 3: -14
