-20x + 40 = 2(14 - 6x) + 5x
You asked:
Solve the equation \(-\left( 20 x \right) + 40 = 2 \cdot \left(14 - 6 x\right) + 5 x\) for the variable \(x\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[x = \frac{12}{13} = 0.\overline{923076}\]
\[\begin{aligned}40 - 20 x &= 28 - 7 x\\- 13 x &= -12\\x &= \frac{12}{13}\end{aligned}\]
