how do i solve 2(x-7)=3x?

2x-14=3x
14=3x+2x
14=5x
x=14/5

2x - 14 = 3x
- 14 = x
x = - 14

2(x - 7) = 3x
2*x - 2*7 = 3x
2x - 14 = 3x
2x - 3x = 14
-x = 14
x = 14/-1
x = -14

2(x-7)=3x
so,2x-14=3x
=>2x-3x=14
=>-x=14
i.e. x=-14

2(x-7)=3x
=2*x-2*7=3x
=2x-14=3x
=-14=3x-2x
=-14=1x
therefore,x=-14

first multiply out the brackets on the l.h.s.

2x - 14 = 3x

Then gather the x's on the l.h.s by taking 3 from both sides of the equation

-x - 14 = 0

move the 14 to the r.h.s. by adding 14 to both sides of the equation

-x = 14

if -x = 14 then x = -14

therefore x = -14 is the solution.

2(x-7)=3x
2x-14=3x
-14=x

2(x-7) = 3x

1. Simplify the expression on the left:
2x-14 = 3x

2. Move all the x terms to one side by subtracting both sides by 2x:
-14 = 3x - 2x
-14 = x

Therefore x = -14.

Hope this helps =)

2(x-7)=3x
2x-14=3x
-14=x

QED

2(x-7)=3x
2x - 14 = 3x ................distribute 2 on the left side of the equation
-14 = x ........................subtract 2x to the both sides

x = -14
