Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

You have a container of lemons. You're sure that you have 8 lemons. And also a total of lemons that is 16 times an unknown number. You know that 14 times an unknown number + 8 makes 16 times that number which is your total lemons. So you move 14x to the other side to get 2x = 8 lemons. Simplifying it gives that unknown number to be 4.
