Answer:
Explanation:
1. Simplifying
8x + 2y = 14
2. Solving
8x + 2y = 14
3. Solving for variable 'x'.
4. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
8x + 2y + -2y = 14 + -2y
5. Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
8x + 0 = 14 + -2y
8x = 14 + -2y
6. Divide each side by '8'.
x = 1.75 + -0.25y
7. Simplifying
x = 1.75 + -0.25y
