(1 point)
x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 8x - 14 = 10 \), 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 \( x = 3 \).
