Simplifying: ax + 6 = 14

Reorder the terms: 6 + ax = 14

Solving: 6 + ax = 14

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all

other terms to the right. Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + ax = 14 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + ax = 14 + -6 ax = 14 + -6

Combine like terms: 14 + -6 = 8 ax = 8

Divide each side by 'x'.

a = 8x-1

Simplifying: a = 8x-1
