Question

How do you solve `14-3(2x+3)=2`?

Answer 1

`x=1/2`

Explanation:

`14-3(2x+3)=2`

subtract 14 from both sides
`=> -3(2x+3)=-12`

multiply both sides with `-1`
`=> 3(2x+3)=12`

divide both sides by 3
`=> 2x+3 =4`

subtract 3 from both sides
`=> 2x=1`

divide both sides by 2
`=> x=1/2` is the solution
