I'm pretty sure that's right

Isolate the terms with the x's so they are both on the same side of the equation and move the values without the x to the other side.

14x - 12x = 8 + 31

Done by subtracting 12x from the right side so 12x - 12x = 0 and subtracting 12x from the left side so that you have 14x - 12x. In a similar fashion, I added 31 to both sides so it zeroes out on the left and on the right you have 8 + 31.

Then combine like terms.

14x - 12x = 2x and 8 + 31 =39

So the equation becomes 2x = 39

Then divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x.

x = 39/2 = 19.5

14x - 31 = 12x + 8

-Subtract 12x from both sides

2x - 31 = 8

-Add 31 to both sides

2x = 39

-Divide each side by 2

x = 19.5

And your answer is 19.5

You first need to isolate x

14x = 12x + 39 (add 32 to both sides)

2x = 39 (subtract 12x to both sides)

x = (39/2) = 19.5 (divide both sides by 2)

14x - 31= 12x + 8

14x (-12x) - 31 = 12x (-12x) + 8

2x - 31 (+31) = 8 (+31)

2x = 39

x = 39/2

x = 19.5

(but you will need to have a library card and all you have to do is put in your library bar code which you can find on the back and ask for homework help its really simple i get all my answers and homework help there they do step by step problems)
