Question

14x - 12 = 16


PLS HELP HURRY

Answer 1

`\fbox {x = 2}`

Explanation:

Given :

14x - 12 = 16

Add 12 to each side :

14x - 12 + 12 = 16 + 12

14x = 28

Divide each side by 14 :

14x/14 = 28/14

x = 2

Answer 2

x = 2

Why? Well, 14 x 2 = 28. 28 - 12 gives us 16, and would therefore prove the equation to be true. You could also solve this by adding 16 and 12 to get a total of 28. Then, you could have the expression 14x = 28. From there, you could divide 28 by 14 to get that, as mentioned earlier, x = 2.
