Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
16x - 8 = 14x + 14
add 8 to both sides
16x = 14x + 22
subtract 14x from both sides
2x = 22
divide both sides by 2
x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]16x-8=14x+14[/tex]
If you want to solve this equation, you will have to minus(subtract) 14x from both sides of the equation.
[tex]16x-8-14x=14x+14-14x[/tex]
We got:
[tex]2x-8=14[/tex]
The next thing we have to do is add 8 to both sides of the equation.
[tex]2x-8+8=14+8[/tex]
We got:
[tex]2x=22[/tex]
To get the answer you have to make it into a fraction and divide on both sides by 2.
[tex]\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{22}{2}[/tex]
Let's simplify [tex]\frac{22}{2}[/tex].
[tex]x=11[/tex]
Now you have found your answer!
Hope this helps!
