Answer: 7
Simplifying
6x + 14 = 56
Reorder the terms:
14 + 6x = 56
Solving
14 + 6x = 56
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left,
Add '-14' to each side of the equation.
14 + -14 + 6x = 56 + -14
Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0
0 + 6x = 56 + -14
6x = 56 + -14
Combine like terms: 56 + -14 = 42
6x = 42
Divide each side by '6'.
× = 7
Simplifying
× = 7
