The number is 4. 15-6=8 divide that by 2 and you are left with 4

4 0

First, write an equation:

$2x+6=14$

We want to get x by itself, so next we should subtract 6 from both sides and get

$2x=8$

Finally, divide both sides by 2 and get

$x=4$

The number is 4

elixir [45]

Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

15+(5-x)/x=30

1) Subtract 15 from both sides:

(5-x)/x=15

2) Multiply both sides by x:

5-x=15x

3) Add x to both sides:

16x=5

4) Divide both sides by 16:

x=5/16
