14 = 2x.

Divide both sides by 2. Two two cancels out on the right side and becomes x. 14 divided by 2 equals 7.

The solution to this problem is 7.

re-write like this

+14 = 5x – 3x

+14 = 5 – 3 times x

+14 = 2 times x

+ 14 = 2x

x = 7

or 14=5x-3x=2x

so x=14/2=7

first move all the x’s to the same side of the equation.

3x + 14 = 5x

-3x -3x

remember, what you do to one side, you have to do to the other side of the equation.

so now it’s

14 = 2x

so to simplify, divide both sides by two.

14 = 2x

14/ 2 = 2x/ 2

7 = x

so x = 7

hope that clears things up :]

That makes your equation:

x + x + x + 14 = x + x + x + x + x

That should be easier to solve. You can move the 3 ‘x’s over to the other side, making it

14 = x + x + x + x + x – x – x – x

or

14 = x + x

which simplifies to

14 = 2x

from that point, you simply divide by 2

7 = x

-3x -3x

2x=14

/2 /2

x=7

1. 14= 5x -3x

Now combine the like terms.

14=2x

Solve the equation by dividing both sides by 2.

x=7

-3x -3x

__________

14 = 2x

Divide 14 by 2 and 2x by 2. x = 7

1) 3x+14=5x

2) 3x-5x= -14

3) -2x= -14

4) x= -2 / -14

answer x= 7
