8*x+10+2x+4*x+8-6=2 (7x+18)

Answer: does not work

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

8x + 10 + 2x + 4x + 8 + - 6 = 2 (7x + 18)

Reorder the terms:

10 + 8 + - 6 + 8x + 2x + 4x = 2 (7x + 18)

Combine like terms: 10 + 8 = 18

18 + - 6 + 8x + 2x + 4x = 2 (7x + 18)

Combine like terms: 18 + - 6 = 12

12 + 8x + 2x + 4x = 2 (7x + 18)

Combine like terms: 8x + 2x = 10x

12 + 10x + 4x = 2 (7x + 18)

Combine like terms: 10x + 4x = 14x

12 + 14x = 2 (7x + 18)

Reorder the terms:

12 + 14x = 2 (18 + 7x)

12 + 14x = (18 * 2 + 7x * 2)

12 + 14x = (36 + 14x)

Add '-14x' to each side of the equation.

12 + 14x + - 14x = 36 + 14x + - 14x

Combine like terms: 14x + - 14x = 0

12 + 0 = 36 + 14x + - 14x

12 = 36 + 14x + - 14x

Combine like terms: 14x + - 14x = 0

12 = 36 + 0

12 = 36

Solving

12 = 36

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.
