Answer 1

`\framebox{\parbox[t][1.0cm]{4.50cm}{\addvspace{0.2cm} \centering $ \;\; \,x=11 \;\; \;\; $ } }\\`

Explanation:

`16x-8=14x+14`

If you want to solve this equation, you will have to minus(subtract) 14x from both sides of the equation.

`16x-8-14x=14x+14-14x`

We got:

`2x-8=14`

The next thing we have to do is add 8 to both sides of the equation.

`2x-8+8=14+8`

We got:

`2x=22`

To get the answer you have to make it into a fraction and divide on both sides by 2.

`(2x)/(2) =(22)/(2)`

Let's simplify
`(22)/(2)`.

`x=11`

Now you have found your answer!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = 11

Explanation:

16x - 8 = 14x + 14

add 8 to both sides

16x = 14x + 22

subtract 14x from both sides

2x = 22

divide both sides by 2

x = 11
