To solve the equation \( 8 + 6x = 14 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:
-
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
\[ 8 + 6x - 8 = 14 - 8 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 6x = 6 \]
-
Next, divide both sides by 6:
\[ \frac{6x}{6} = \frac{6}{6} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x = 1 \]
So, the solution of the equation is \( x = 1 \).
