solve for x

8x-14=10

1 answer

To solve for x, we can isolate the variable x by performing the necessary operations on both sides of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
8x - 14 = 10

First, let's add 14 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the negative 14 on the left side:
8x - 14 + 14 = 10 + 14
8x = 24

Next, to isolate x, we will divide both sides of the equation by 8:
(8x)/8 = 24/8
x = 3

Therefore, the solution to the equation 8x - 14 = 10 is x = 3.
