Solve 15-(7x+20)=0.5(6x-14)​

x= 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parentheses.

15−7x−20=0.5(6x−14)

Simplify  15-7x-2015−7x−20  to  -7x-5−7x−5.

-7x-5=0.5(6x-14)

−7x−5=0.5(6x−14)

3 Expand.

-7x-5=3x-7

−7x−5=3x−7

4 Add 7x7x to both sides.

-5=3x-7+7x

−5=3x−7+7x

5 Simplify  3x-7+7x3x−7+7x  to  10x-710x−7.

-5=10x-7

−5=10x−7

6 Add 77 to both sides.

-5+7=10x

−5+7=10x

7 Simplify  -5+7−5+7  to  22.

2=10x

2=10x

Divide both sides by 1010.

\frac{2}{10}=x
