Question

Solve the following equation for x: 6x-16=14

Answer 1

To solve the equation for x, first, we add 16 from both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} 6x-16+16=14+16, \\ 6x=30. \end{gathered}$

Now, we divide by 6:

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{30}{6}.$

Finally, we get that:

$x=5.$

Answer:

$x=5.$
