Answer:
x=-6/29
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5(3x+2)−2=2(1−7x)
(5)(3x)+(5)(2)+−2=(2)(1)+(2)(−7x)(Distribute)
15x+10+−2=2+−14x
(15x)+(10+−2)=−14x+2(Combine Like Terms)
15x+8=−14x+2
15x+8=−14x+2
Step 2: Add 14x to both sides.
15x+8+14x=−14x+2+14x
29x+8=2
Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.
29x+8−8=2−8
29x=−6
Step 4: Divide both sides by 29.
29x/29=-6/29
x=-6/29
