Solve -14=2left(x-3right)/5

$$-14 = \frac{ 2 \left( x-3 \right) }{ 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-32$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 5.

$$-14\times 5=2\left(x-3\right)$$

Multiply -14 and 5 to get -70.

$$-70=2\left(x-3\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.

$$-70=2x-6$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2x-6=-70$$

Add 6 to both sides.

$$2x=-70+6$$

Add -70 and 6 to get -64.

$$2x=-64$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-64}{2}$$

Divide -64 by 2 to get -32.

$$x=-32$$
