To solve the equation, let's simplify each side step by step.
Starting with the left side:
(10x-3) + (14x-4)
Combining similar terms:
10x + 14x - 3 - 4
24x - 7
Now let's simplify the right side:
8 - (15-22x)
Inside the parentheses, we have a subtraction, so let's simplify that first:
8 - (15-22x) = 8 - 15 + 22x
Now, combining similar terms:
-7 + 22x
So the equation becomes:
24x - 7 = -7 + 22x
Both sides are equal, so we can solve this equation by isolating the x term. Let's move the 22x term to the left side by subtracting 22x from both sides:
24x - 22x - 7 = -7 - 22x + 22x
Simplifying:
2x - 7 = 0
To isolate the x term, let's move the constant term to the right side by adding 7 to both sides:
2x - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7
Simplifying:
2x = 7
Finally, to solve for x, divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 = 7/2
Simplifying:
x = 7/2
So the solution to the equation is x = 7/2.
