Question

What is the solution to the following equation?

14x−8=4

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

14x - 8 = 4

Add 8 to both sides.

14x = 12

Divide both sides by 14.

x = 12/14.

Simplify

x = 6/7

Proof:

14x - 8 = 4

Substitute variable.

14(6/7) - 8 = 4

Multiply.

12 - 8 = 4

Subtract.

4 = 4.
