Solve this linear equation:

1. 5 (3x+2) - 2 = - 2 (1-7x)

2. 3x + 2 = 14

Answer for the first equation : x = - 10

You have to solve the rational equation by combining expressions and isolating the variable "x".

Answer fro the second equation : x = 4

Move all the terms that don't contain "x" to the right side and solve.

For the first question the answer is : x = - 10

And for the second question the answer is : x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first Equation:

5 (3x+2) - 2 = - 2 (1-7x)

15x + 10-2 = - 2 + 14x

15x + 8 = - 2 + 14x

15x + 8 - 14x = - 2 + 14x - 14x

x + 8 = - 2

x+8-8 = - 2 - 8

x = - 10

Answer : x = - 10

For the second Equation:

3x+2 = 14

3x+2-2 = 14-2

3x = 12

3x/x = 12/3

x = 4

Answer : x = 4
