Answer: x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The original problem is 3(14-5x) = 72. First, multiply 3 by the contents of the parentheses:

42 - 15 x = 72

Next, subtract 42 from each side:

-15x = 30

Now divide both sides by -15:

X = -2

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you begin by taking 3 and multiplying is by 14 and -5x:

(3 X 14) - (3 X -5x) = 72

42 - 15x = 72

Next, you subtract 42 from each side to isolate the variable.

-15x = 30

Next you divide each side by -15 to get the value of x.

X = -2

I hope this helps!
