"of" means multiply and "is" means equal
1. x = 14
x = 14(3) <em>multiply both sides by 3 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 42
2. x = 14
x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 70
3. x = 14
2x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 </em>
2x = 70
x = 35 <em>divide both sides by 2 to isolate "x"</em>
4. x = 14
7x = 14(8) <em>multiply both sides by 8 </em>
7x = 112
x = 16 <em>divide both sides by 7 to isolate "x"</em>
