14-2 (x+8) = 5x - (3x-34)

Answer:30=-34

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute so 2*X is 2X

2*8 is 16 then you do the other side but you put a one in front of the - so it goes 1 times 3x is 3x and you turn the minus into a plus sign and turn the positive 34 into a negative 34 so - 34 * 1 is - 34 then write that out to look like 14-2X+16 = 5X - 3X + - 34 then you add or subtract the commons which is 14+16 = 30 and 5X-3X=2X so now your equation is 30-2x=2X + (-34) then you want to get your X on the same side so you subtract 2X from the right side and the left side then your left 30=-34
