Solve for x. check each step or answer that is correct.

34(x + 4) = 14(x + 8)

(a) distribute 34 on the left side of the equation.

(b) distribute 14 on the right side of the equation.

(c) subtract 14x from each side of the equation.

(d) add 3 to each side of the equation.

(e) add 2 to each side of the equation.

(f) multiply each side of the equation by 2.

If you would like to solve the equation 34 * (x + 4) = 14 * (x + 8) for x, you can do this using the following steps:

34 * (x + 4) = 14 * (x + 8)
(A) 34 * x + 34 * 4 = 14 * (x + 8)
(B) 34 * x + 34 * 4 = 14 * x + 14 * 8       /- 14 * x
(C) 34 * x - 14 * x + 34 * 4 = 14 * x - 14 * x + 14 * 8
      20 * x + 34 * 4 = 14 * 8
      20 * x + 136 = 112           
So far it is correct.

20 * x + 136 = 112        
20 * x = 112 - 136
20 * x = -24      /20
x = - 24 / 20
x = - 6/5 = - 1 1/5

The correct result would be - 1 1/5.
