Answer:
The correct option is C) -16
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided equation.
[tex] 7x-2(x + 1) = 6x + 14[/tex]
Open the parentheses
[tex] 7x-2x -2 = 6x + 14[/tex]
Add the like terms.
[tex] 5x -2 = 6x + 14[/tex]
Subtract 5x from both the sides.
[tex]-2 = x + 14[/tex]
Subtract 14 to the both sides.
[tex]x=-16[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is C) -16
