Answer: -16
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation : [tex]7x - 2(x + 1) = 6x + 14[/tex]
To solve the above equation for x , by using BODMAS first we simplify the bracket .
[tex]7x - 2x - 2 = 6x + 14[/tex]
Now, Subtract 6x and add on both the sides , we get
[tex]7x - 2x- 6x = 14+2\\\\\Rightarrow\ -x=16[/tex]
Multiply -1 on the both sides , we get
[tex]x=-16[/tex]
Hence, the solution to the given equation is [tex]x=-16[/tex]
