Answer 1

To solve the equation 23(x - 6) = 14, we need to distribute the 23 on the left side of the equation:

23(x - 6) = 14
23x - 138 = 14

Now, isolating the variable x, we can add 138 to each side of the equation:

23x = 14 + 138
23x = 152

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 23 to solve for x:

x = 152/23

Therefore, the solution is x ≈ 6.6087.
