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

Answer:

x = 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

x = 16/3

Best of Luck!
