Solve for X. 8 X - 14 = 10 X = __

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 8X - 14 = 10 \), you can follow these steps:

  1. Add 14 to both sides of the equation: \[ 8X - 14 + 14 = 10 + 14 \] This simplifies to: \[ 8X = 24 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 8: \[ X = \frac{24}{8} \] This simplifies to: \[ X = 3 \]

So, the solution is \( X = 3 \).
