Solve the equation5x - 14 = 21*1 pointx = 35x = 7x = 7/5x = 175

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5x - 14 = 21 \), we will isolate \( x \) step by step.

  1. Add 14 to both sides: \[ 5x = 21 + 14 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x = 35 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 5: \[ x = \frac{35}{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 7 \]

Therefore, the solution is \( x = 7 \).
