How do you solve the equation 5x plus 34 -2(1-7x)?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the browser used for posting questions is hopelessly inadequate for mathematics: it strips away most symbols. All that we can see of the so called equation is "5x plus 34 -2(1-7x)?". From that it is not at all clear where the missing symbols might be.

Assuming the equation is 5x plus 34 = -2(1-7x),

Expand the brackets: 5x + 34 = -2 + 14x

Add 2 to both sides: 5x + 36 = 14x

Subtract 5x from both sides: 36 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9: 4 = x.

Answer 2

Without an equality sign the given expression can't be considered to be an equation and so therefore a solution is not possible.
