To solve the equation \(8 + 6x = 14\), follow these steps:
-
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: \[ 6x = 14 - 8 \] \[ 6x = 6 \]
-
Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{6}{6} \] \[ x = 1 \]
It seems that the answer is indeed \(x = 1\). If the answer is stated to not be 1, there might be a misunderstanding or miscommunication regarding the problem. Please double-check the equation provided or confirm any other details you would like clarified.
