Solve 2(x+7)-3(1-2x)=3

$$2 ( x + 7 ) - 3 ( 1 - 2 x ) = 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=-1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+7.

$$2x+14-3\left(1-2x\right)=3$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 1-2x.

$$2x+14-3+6x=3$$

Subtract 3 from 14 to get 11.

$$2x+11+6x=3$$

Combine 2x and 6x to get 8x.

$$8x+11=3$$

Subtract 11 from both sides.

$$8x=3-11$$

Subtract 11 from 3 to get -8.

$$8x=-8$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{-8}{8}$$

Divide -8 by 8 to get -1.

$$x=-1$$
