Question

What is x / 6 + 14 = 18

Answer 1

You'll have to simplify the equation, subtract 14 from both sides and then multiply both sides by 6:

$\frac{x}{6}+14=18$
$\frac{1}{6}x + 14 = 18$ (simplify equation)
$\frac{1}{6}x = 18-14$ (subtract 14 from both sides)
$\frac{1}{6}x = 2$ (multiply both sides by 6)
$x = 24$

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer 2

So to solve this equation for x, we must first get x to one side
Start by subtracting 14 on both sides
x/6 + 14 = 18
       -14     -14
x/6 = 4
Now in order to get the fraction to go away, we must do the opposite which is multiplication. So multiply each side by 6
x/6 = 4
 x 6    x 6
Answer is X= 24
