The equation is:
2(x - 9) / 3 = 14
To solve for x, first multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
2(x - 9) = 42
Next, distribute the 2:
2x - 18 = 42
Add 18 to both sides:
2x = 60
Divide by 2:
x = 30
Now substitute x = 30 back into the original equation:
2(30 - 9) / 3 = 14
2(21) / 3 = 14
42 / 3 = 14
14 = 14
Since the equation is true when x = 30, it is not a false equation or identity. The solution is x = 30.
