2x + 3 + 7x = – 24, what is the value of x?
14x + 3 = - 24
thn I get stuck, HELP!

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

question is

2x + 3 + 7x = -24

First you combine the like terms

2x and 7x you can add them so it will be 9x

so it will then it will be like this:

9x + 3 = -24

now you take the 3 and send it to the other side, and right now the 3 is positive so when it goes to the other side it will turn into -3

so

9x = -24 -3

again now you combine the like terms

-24 -3 = - 27

now you have

9x = -27

now just divide each side by 9

x = -27/9

x = -3

Sorry if this doesnt help
