Answer: 2.214285714, probably B maybe? I'm not sure what D is.

Step-by-step explanation: (14)x + 1 = 32.

Your goal here is to get the x by itself so that you will know how much it is worth.

First step I would take is to subtract 1 from both sides to get rid of the one on the side with the x. What you do on one side is what you must do on the other side.

Now you have (14)x = 31

Next step I would take is divide both sides by 14 so that you can finally get the x by itself.

Now you have 2.214285714, so I would choose whatever answer that is closest to.
