Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add ‘-28’ to each side of the equation.
28+-28+2x=40+-28
Combine like terms: 28+-28=0
0+2x=40 + 28
2x=40+-28
Combine like terms: 40+-28=12
2x=12
Divide each side by ‘2’
X=6
Simplifying
X=6
Add ‘-28’ to each side of the equation.
28+-28+2x=40+-28
Combine like terms: 28+-28=0
0+2x=40 + 28

Answer:
x=6
Expiantion:
First i multiplied 2 and x then 2 and 14 and got 2x and 28 then subtracted 28 from 40 and got 12 then divided 2 from 12 and got 6.
2(x+14)=40
2x+28=40 40-28=12
2/12=6
