2x+3x-x+10x+14=-42

3 step equation

1. We want to add all alike terms and follow GEMDAS as well. Addition first 2x+3x=5x ,then -x(which is equal to -1x) + 10x = 9x. Now we add 5x + 9x = 14x.
Right now the equation looks like:
14x + 14 = -42

2. Now we process the equation,
Subtract 14 from the left side, but what u do to one side u do to the other so now the equation looks like:
14x = -56

3. Now we are almost finished last step.
14x changes to x and we divide -56 by 14 which equals -4. The answer is
X = -4

Ps. I spent way too long writing this answer

Ithink you're supposed to multiply 12.50 which is how much he makes per hour and then multiply it by each number then add whats left togrther and there's your answer

The answer is the first one
