Solving:37−x−12−(2−x)=3x−414
Could someone walk me through this, or what I'm doing wrong? I do the parenthesis, and get:
37−x−12−2+x=3x−414
Then I multiply everything by 14, divide the fractions and have 6−7x−28+14x=3x−4. Add up this and 7x−29=3x−4. I end up with 4x=25. Which doesn't make sense, since x should equal 11/4.
I've been going through the steps myself so long I think I'm going blind for my own mistake.
