What is the solution of the equation 8 + 6x = 14 solving for x?

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 8 + 6x = 14 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

    \[ 8 + 6x - 8 = 14 - 8 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 6x = 6 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 6:

    \[ \frac{6x}{6} = \frac{6}{6} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ x = 1 \]

So, the solution of the equation is \( x = 1 \).
