Question

solve for x ~
$3 \: (14 - 5x) =16 - 12x$

thankyou ~​

Answer 1

• $\sf \: 3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x$

• $\sf \: 42 - 15x = 16 - 12x$

• $\sf \: - 15x + 12x = 16 - 42$

• $\sf \: - 3x = - 26$

• $\sf x = \frac{ \cancel -26}{ \cancel- 3}$

• $\large \boxed{\sf \underline{ \color{green}x = \frac{26}{ 3} }}$

Hope Helps~
