Fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 14(x+5). (2 points)
Step 1: (?)14(x+3) =5(?).
Step 2: x+3=?
Step 3: Subtract? from both sides.
Step 4: x=?
Step 1: Distribute 14 to (x+5) to get 14x + 70. (14(x+5) = 14x + 70)
Step 2: x+3 = 14x + 70
Step 3: Subtract x from both sides to isolate the variable: 3 = 13x + 70
Step 4: Subtract 70 from both sides to solve for x: -67 = 13x
Simplifying further, x = -67/13
