Question

Please help to solve 4x - 8 = 14

Answer 1

Adding 8 to the given equation we get:

$\begin{gathered} 4x-8+8=14+8, \\ 4x=22. \end{gathered}$

Dividing the above equation by 4 we get:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{22}{4}, \\ x=\frac{11}{2}\text{.} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$x=\frac{11}{2}\text{.}$
