15 (x-3) + 24-12x=-4x+14

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

15 (x-3) + 24-12x=-4x+14

Distribute

15x - 45 + 24 - 12x = - 4x + 14

Combine like terms

3x - 21 = - 4x + 14

Add 4x to each side

3x+4x - 21 = - 4x+4x + 14

7x - 21 = 14

Add 21 to each side

7x-21+21 = 14+21

7x = 35

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 35/7

x = 5

Answer:x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

15 (x-3) + 24-12x=-4x+14

Open the brackets

15x-45+24-12x=-4x+14

Collect like terms

15x-12x-45+24=-4x+14

3x-21=-4x+14

3x+4x=14+21

7x=35

Divide through by 7

x=5
