Step 1: (___)14(x+3)=5(___).
Step 2: x+3=____
.
Step 3: Subtract ____ from both sides.
Step 4: x= _____
Step 1: (Distribute) 14(x+3)=5(___).
Step 2: x+3=5(___).
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
Step 4: x=5-3.
are you sure
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let me provide the correct steps:
Step 1: Distribute 14 to the terms inside the parentheses: 14x + 42 = 5(___).
Step 2: Simplify: x + 3 = ___.
Step 3: Subtract 42 from both sides: 14x + 42 - 42 = 5 - 42.
Step 4: Simplify: 14x = -37.
Step 5: Divide both sides by 14: 14x/14 = -37/14.
Step 6: Simplify: x = -37/14.
what the answer 5(?) in step one
I apologize for the confusion. Let me provide the correct steps again:
Step 1: Distribute 14 to the terms inside the parentheses: 14x + 42 = 5 * ___.
Step 2: Simplify: x + 3 = ___.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 5: (x + 3)/5 = ___.
Step 4: Simplify: x/5 + 3/5 = ___.
Step 5: Subtract 3/5 from both sides: x/5 = ___ - 3/5.
Step 6: Simplify: x/5 = (___*5 - 3)/5.
Step 7: Simplify: x/5 = (___ - 3)/5.
Step 8: Multiply both sides by 5: (x/5) * 5 = ___.
Step 9: Simplify: x = ___.
