Solve 2 * (5x - 1) = 4x - 14

Evaluate

2 (5 x - 1) = 4 x - 14

Expand the expression

More Steps

10 x - 2 = 4 x - 14

Move the expression to the left side

10 x - 2 - 4 x = - 14

Move the expression to the right side

10 x - 4 x = - 14 + 2

Add and subtract

More Steps

6 x = - 14 + 2

Add and subtract

6 x = - 12

Divide both sides

\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{- 12}{6}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 12}{6}
