Solve the equation 10x+14= - 2x+38 explaining all the steps of your solution.

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+14 = -2x+38  add 2x to both sides

10x +2x +14 = -2x +2x +38

10x +2x +14 = 38 subtract 14 from both sides

10x +2x +14 -14 = 38 -14

10x +2x = 38 -14 combine like terms

12x = 24 divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 24/12

x =2

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 14 = -2x + 38

Subtract 14 from both sides:

10x + 14 - 14 = -2x + 38 - 14

10x = -2x - 24

Add 2x to both sides

10x + 2x = 2x - 2x - 24

12x = -24

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = -24/12

x = -2

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
