5x+14=6+20x
5 x plus 14 is equal to 6 plus 20 x
35x+2=24−20x
35 x plus 2 is equal to 24 minus 20 x
35x+14=−24+20x
35 x plus 14 is equal to negative 24 plus 20 x
35x+10=−24+20x
35 x plus 10 is equal to negative 24 plus 20 x
35x+2=−24−5x
35 x plus 2 is equal to negative 24 minus 5 x
Using the Distributive Property, we can simplify the equation 7(5x+2)=−4(6−5x) as follows:
7 * 5x + 7 * 2 = -4 * 6 + 4 * 5x
35x + 14 = -24 + 20x
