Question

(-66)-(X-16)+150=2X-14

Answer 1

\(\left(-66\right)-\left(x-16\right)+150=2x-14\Leftrightarrow-66-x+16+150=2x-14\Leftrightarrow-3x=-114\Leftrightarrow x=38\)

Answer 2

\(\left(-66\right)-\left(x-16\right)+150=2x-14\)

\(-66-x+16+150=2x-14\)

\(-x-2x=66-16-150-14\)

\(-3x=-114\)

\(x=\frac{114}{3}\)

\(x=38\)
