Question

Solve for x: 1/4 (2x - 14) = 4 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4} (2x - 14) = 4$

Multiply through by 4 in order to eliminate the fraction

That's

$4 \times \frac{1}{4} (2x - 14) = 4 \times 4 \\ 2x - 14 = 16$

Using the addition property add 14 to both sides

$2x - 14 + 14 = 16 + 14 \\ 2x = 30$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{30}{2}$

We have the final answer as

x = 15

Hope this helps you
