8less than 14 times a number is equal to 20 times a number more than 22

The answer is x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we first have to put the equation into numerical terms.

14x - 8 = 20x + 22

Now we can solve this using the order of operations.

14x - 8 = 20x + 22 > subtract 20 x from both sides

-6x - 8 = 22 > add 8 to both sides

-6x = 30 > divide both sides by -6

x = -5

2/5

step-by-step explanation:

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.
