Question

To solve the equation 2x - 6 = 14, first

Answer 1

2x - 6 = 14

Add 6 to both sides to isolate the x

2x = 20

Divide 2 to both sides since x is multipled to x

x = 10

To check your work plug 10 into the equation

2(10) -6 = 14

20 - 6 = 14

14 = 14

and it works

Isolate by the x on one side of the equation.

First, add 6 from both sides.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{2x-6+6=14+6}$

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{14+6=20}$

$\displaystyle \mathsf{2x=20}$

Then, divide by 2 from both sides.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{20}{2} }}$

Solve.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{20\div2=\boxed{\mathsf{\rightarrow10}}}}}$

$\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow X=10}}}$

The correct answer is x=10.
