Question
Solve the equation
x=84
Evaluate
12x−14(144−x)−168=0
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
12x−14(144−x)−168
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
−14(144−x)
Apply the distributive property
−14×144−(−14x)
Multiply the numbers
−2016−(−14x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−2016+14x
12x−2016+14x−168
Add the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
12x+14x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(12+14)x
Add the numbers
26x
26x−2016−168
Subtract the numbers
26x−2184
26x−2184=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
26x=0+2184
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
26x=2184
Divide both sides
2626x=262184
Divide the numbers
x=262184
