Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Expanding the expression on the left side of the equation:

2(5x + 6) + 2 = 10x + 12 + 2 = 10x + 14

So the equation becomes:

10x + 14 = -6x + Box x + Box

Now, let's gather the like terms:

10x + 6x = -14 + Box x + Box

Combining like terms:

16x = -14 + Box x + Box

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x. Subtracting the terms which do not contain x from both sides of the equation:

16x - Box x = -14 + Box

Simplifying:

15x = -14 + Box

So the equation is:

15x = -14 + Box

To simplify the given expression, let's follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2 * 5x = 10x
2 * 6 = 12
So, the expression becomes: 10x + 12 + 2 = -6x + Box x + Box

2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
10x + 14 = -6x + Box x + Box

3. To get all the x terms on one side of the equation, subtract -6x from both sides:
10x + 6x + 14 = Box x + Box

Simplifying this gives: 16x + 14 = Box x + Box

4. Now, let's move the constant term to the other side by subtracting 14 from both sides:
16x = -14 + Box x + Box

Simplifying this gives: 16x = -14 + Box x + Box

5. Finally, simplify the expression by combining like terms:
16x = Box x + Box

So, the simplified form of the expression is 16x = Box x + Box.

To solve this equation, we'll start by simplifying both sides of the equation step by step.

Step 1: Distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation to the terms inside the parentheses:

2 * 5x = 10x
2 * 6 = 12

So the left side of the equation becomes:

10x + 12 + 2 = -6x + Box x + Box

Step 2: Combine like terms on both sides:

On the left side, we have 10x + 12 + 2.
This simplifies to 10x + 14.

On the right side, we have -6x + Box x + Box.
We can combine the -6x and Box x terms, which gives us -6x + x = -5x.

So the equation becomes:

10x + 14 = -5x + Box x + Box

Step 3: Now, let's isolate the x term on one side of the equation.

To do this, we'll move the -5x term from the right side to the left side by adding 5x to both sides:

10x + 5x + 14 = -5x + 5x + Box x + Box

This simplifies to:

15x + 14 = Box x + Box

Step 4: Finally, isolate the constant term on one side by subtracting 14 from both sides:

15x + 14 - 14 = Box x + Box - 14

The constant term on the left side cancels out, and we are left with:

15x = Box x - 14

Therefore, the solution to the equation is

x = Box/15 - 14/15
