Question

Which solution correctly solves the problem 2x + 14 = 28?

Answer 1

Solution

Given the equation 2x + 14 = 28

subtract 14 from both sides of the equation

2x + 14 - 14 = 28 - 14

=> 2x = 14

dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{14}{2}$

=> x = 7

Therefore, the correct option is A
