To solve the equation \( 8x - 14 = 10 \), follow these steps:
-
Add 14 to both sides of the equation: \[ 8x - 14 + 14 = 10 + 14 \] which simplifies to: \[ 8x = 24 \]
-
Now, divide both sides by 8: \[ \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{24}{8} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 3 \]
So, the solution to the equation \( 8x - 14 = 10 \) is \( x = 3 \).
