what does x equal? 23x-14-17x=82?

Answer 1

X=16

Answer 2

Look at each subtraction as plus a negative:

23x + -14 +-17x = 82
Combine like terms. 23x + -17 x = 6x. That takes care of all the Xs. But you still have integers on both sides of the equation, now reading: 6x +-14 = 82 So you have to move all the integers onto one side, the right. The only way to cancel out a -14 is to add it TO BOTH SIDES: 6x +-14 + 14 = 82 +14
Adding 14 cancels it out on the left, but balances the equation on the right, now you have 6x = 96. Divide both sides by 6. Thsi cancels the 6 out of 6x, leaving you with just x. And 96 divided by 6 equals 16. Your solution is x=16.

Answer 3

23x-17x= 82+14
6x= 96
x= 16

Answer 4

23x-17x=82+14 you got to gather all the letters on one side and the numbers on the other (since you moved the 14 when it was negitive you have to swich the signs

6x=96 combine like terms

x=16 divide by six and 16 is your answer

hope i helped

Answer 5

take the 14 to the otehr side and subtract the 17x from 23x so 6x=96 now divide each side by 6 and x=16

Answer 6

x=16

Answer 7

16

Answer 8

x=16

23x-14-17x=82
23x-17x = 82+14
6x = 96 /:6
x = 16

Check:
23*16-14-17*16 = 82 (off to bed, plz take the calculator, you should get 82 on both sides)

Answer 9

you want to get the 23 remote from the x. so that you divide 23x with the aid of 23, which cancels out the 23 and leaves x. Now you want to do the same to the different area of the challenge. three hundred divided with the aid of 23 provide you with your answer.

Answer 10

6x = 82+14
6x = 96
x = 16
