8x - 14 = 7.7x + 3x

x=5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-14=7.7x+3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8x-14=7.7x+3x

8x+-14=7.7x+3x

8x-14 = (7.7x+3x) (Combine Like Terms)

8x-14=10.7x

8x-14=10.7x

Step 2: Subtract 10.7x from both sides.

8x-14-10.7x=10.7x-10.7x

-2.7x-14=0

Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.

-2.7x-14+14=0+14

-2.7x=14

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 2.7.

-2.7x / -2.7 = 14 / -2.7

x=-5.185185 or 5.2
