eugene spent $14 on a magazine and some candy bars. if the magazine cost $6 and each candy bar cost $2 then how many candy bars did he buy

He bought 8 candy bars since 4 times 2 is 8 and 8 plus $6 is $14. I hope this helped :D

14=6+2x
subtract six from both sides
8=2x
divide both sides by 2
4=x

4 candy bars
