A. Subtract 2 to both sides followed by multiplying by 4
B. Add 2 to both sides followed by dividing by 4
C. Subtract 2 to both sides followed by dividing by 4

Answer 1

C) I had this same question

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

whatever you do to one sid you do to the other

we have to get X on its own so we minus the 2 from both sides first.

we should get:

`4x = 14 - 2`

which is also

`4x = 12`

now we need to simplify this, so we'll divide both sides by 4 since it's a common factor between 4 and 12 (they can both be divided by 4)

so we should get

`x = 3`

because 12 divided by 4 is 3, and 4 divided by 4 is 1.

(1x is the same as saying x)
