2-x=5(x+14)

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2−x=5(x+14)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2−x=5(x+14)

Simplify:

−x+2=5x+70

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

−x+2−5x=5x+70−5x

−6x+2=70

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

−6x+2−2=70−2

−6x=68

Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.

−6x/−6=68/−6

x=−34/3

Answer:

x=−34/3
