To solve this equation, we will first distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:
2(6x + 28) - 3x = x 12x + 56 - 3x = x
Next, combine like terms:
12x - 3x + 56 = x 9x + 56 = x
Now, move all the terms with x to one side of the equation:
9x - x + 56 = 0 8x + 56 = 0
Subtract 56 from both sides:
8x = -56
Finally, divide by 8 on both sides to solve for x:
x = -56 / 8 x = -7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -7.
