Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation, we need to simplify both sides and get x on one side of the equation.

First, combine like terms on the left side of the equation:
3x - 5x + 2 = -14
-2x + 2 = -14

Next, isolate x by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
-2x + 2 - 2 = -14 - 2
-2x = -16

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x / -2 = -16 / -2
x = 8

The solution to the equation is x = 8.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve the equation 3x + 2 - 5x = -14, we can start by combining like terms on the left side.

First, let's simplify the equation by combining the x terms:

3x - 5x = -14 - 2

Simplifying further, we have:

-2x = -16

To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2:

-2x / -2 = -16 / -2

This gives us:

x = 8

So the solution to the equation 3x + 2 - 5x = -14 is x = 8.

To solve the equation 3x + 2 - 5x = -14, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms.

Starting with 3x - 5x, we can simplify it to -2x.

So, the equation becomes -2x + 2 = -14.

Next, we want to isolate the term with x. In this case, it is -2x.

To do that, we need to remove the constant term (+2) from the left side of the equation. To remove +2, we need to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

(-2x + 2) - 2 = -14 - 2

Simplifying further, we have -2x = -16.

Now, we have -2x = -16.

To isolate x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -2.

(-2x)/(-2) = (-16)/(-2)

This simplifies to x = 8.

Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x + 2 - 5x = -14 is x = 8.
