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:


`(x)/(6)+14=18`

`(1)/(6)x + 14 = 18` (simplify equation)

`(1)/(6)x = 18-14` (subtract 14 from both sides)

`(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
