For part A, first of all, you need to multiply both sides by 2.

4x - 1 = 2x + 14

Then, you need to add 2 to both sides.

4x = 2x + 15

Now, you need to subtract 2x from both sides.

2x = 15

Finally, you need to divide both sides by 2.

x = 7.5

So the answer to part A is 7.5

Now for part B.

First of all, you need to multiply both sides by 3.

9x + 6 = 2x + 13

Next, you need to subtract 6 from both sides.

9x = 2x + 7

Now, you need to subtract 2x from both sides.

7x = 7

Finally, you need to divide both sides by 7.

x = 1

So the answer to part B is 1
