Question

problem 6: here is an equation: \frac{1}{2}(8x - 14) = 3(x - 4) what is the solution to this problem? solution: x =

Explanation:

Step1: Expand both sides

$\frac{1}{2}(8x - 14) = 3(x - 4)$
$4x - 7 = 3x - 12$

Step2: Isolate x terms

$4x - 3x = -12 + 7$

Step3: Calculate final value

$x = -5$

Answer:

$x = -5$
