Answer 1

To solve the equation 23(x-6) = 14, we can start by distributing the 23 to the terms inside the parentheses:

23(x-6) = 14

23x - 23(6) = 14

Now we simplify the equation by multiplying:

23x - 138 = 14

Next, we can isolate the variable x by adding 138 to both sides of the equation:

23x - 138 + 138 = 14 + 138

23x = 152

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 23:

x = 152/23

This is our final answer and it is a decimal value.
