Solve the equation

(4x − 24) + x = 14.

Answer 1

To solve the equation (4x - 24) + x = 14, we can start by combining like terms on the left side of the equation:

4x - 24 + x = 14

Next we'll add the x terms together and the constants together:

5x - 24 = 14

Then we'll add 24 to both sides to get all the x terms on one side:

5x = 38

Finally we'll divide both sides by 5 to find the value of x:

x = 7.6

So the solution to the equation is x = 7.6
