Step-by-step explanation:
2(7x +8)=12
2(7x +8)/2 =12/2
7x +8 =6
7x=6-8
7x = -2
x= -2/7
Hi there! :)
12=2(7x+8)
Use the Distributive property:
12=14x+16
Move all the numbers to the right side and the variables to the left side:
-14x=16-12
-14x=4
Divide both sides by -14 to isolate x:
x=[tex]-\frac{4}{14} \\-\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
Hope this helps you!
