To solve the equation \( 4x - 6 = 8 \), follow these steps:
-
Add 6 to both sides of the equation:
\[ 4x - 6 + 6 = 8 + 6 \]
simplifying gives:
\[ 4x = 14 \]
-
Divide both sides by 4:
\[ x = \frac{14}{4} \]
Simplifying \(\frac{14}{4}\):
\[ x = \frac{7}{2} \]
So, the solution is:
\[ x = 3.5 \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{7}{2} \]
