Given the equation:
4x + 14
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply need to transpose 14 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing the number, the sign changes.
= 4x + 14
4x = -14
Divide both sides by 4 in order to cancel out 4x, leaving behind x.
4x/4 = -14/4
x =-3.5
Final answer:
x = -3.5
