Simplify 3(5y + 6) - 4.
a. 11y + 14
b. 11y + 18
c. 15y + 14
d. 15y + 2

he has 140 chickens because he has 10 times more chickens than ducks and he has 14 ducks so 14*10=140

x=-2

step-by-step explanation:

i began by flipping the problem to give me x= on the left (keeps it clearer for me).   so my problem simply became 10x-3=4x-6.  

1)   subtract 4x from the right side, which equals 0.   you do the same to the left of the equal as the right; therefore, subtract 4x from 10x, leaving 6x on the left.

              10x-3=4x-6   :   4x-4x on the right leaves only the -6        

2)             6x-3= 0-6 :    

                6x+3=   -6

3) divide
