Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4x - 6 = 8 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:

1. Add 6 to both sides: \[ 4x - 6 + 6 = 8 + 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x = 14 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 4: \[ x = \frac{14}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = \frac{7}{2} \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{\frac{7}{2}} \]
