1. X is in the middle of a (), so you must solve x- it is in a tight position there.
2. Simplifying
14(x + -200) = 30800
Reorder the terms:
14(-200 + x) = 30800
(-200 * 14 + x * 14) = 30800
(-2800 + 14x) = 30800
Solving
-2800 + 14x = 30800
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2800' to each side of the equation.
-2800 + 2800 + 14x = 30800 + 2800
Combine like terms: -2800 + 2800 = 0
0 + 14x = 30800 + 2800
14x = 30800 + 2800
Combine like terms: 30800 + 2800 = 33600
14x = 33600
Divide each side by '14'.
x = 2400
Simplifying
x = 2400
