Answer:
x=16/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x−2(x+1)=14
Distribute
5x -2x -2 =14
Combine like terms
3x -2 =14
Add 2 to each side
3x-2+2 =14+2
3x=16
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 16/3
x = 16/3
5x - 2(x + 1) = 14
~Simplify
5x - 2x - 2 = 14
~Combine like terms
3x - 2 = 14
~Add 2 to both sides
3x = 16
~Divide 3 to both sides
Best of Luck!
