Solve for x. −2(x+14)+1=5 enter your answer in the box.

-2(x+14)+1=15

distribute

-2x - 14 + 1 = 15

add 14 to each side

-2x + 1 = 29

subtract one from each side

-2x = 28

divided by -2

x = -14

-2(x+14)+1=5

First, distribute -2 into x and 14.

-2x-28+1=5

Combine like terms.

-2x-27=5

Add 27 to both sides.

-2x=32

Divide both sides by -2.

x=-16

Your answer is -16.

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
