Question

15x + 14 = 149Plz solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing these types of problems, the main goal is to get the variable by itself. Its kind of hard to explain with words so I will just use numbers.

15x + 14 = 149

(Subtract 14 on both sides. Remember, when you do something (Like subtracting, adding, etc.) on one side you have to do it to the other.)

15x + 14 = 149

       -14 =  -14

---------------------------

15x = 135

(Divide 15 on both sides. Since we need to use inverse operation to cancel the 15 out, we would divide 15 on both sides.)

15x/15 = 135/15

x = 9

Hope this helps :)
