Question

what is the solution of (3x+4)=14?

Answer 1

First, drop the parentheses on the left side. They are not needed.

Answer 2

Okay so 3x+4=14? do I subtract the 4? first?

Answer 3

You want x alone on the left side.
If you wanted to evaluate the expression 3x + 4 for a value of x, you'd first multiply that value of x by 3. Then you'd add 4 to the result.

To get x alone, you need to do the opposite operations in the opposite order.
The opposite of add 4 is subtract 4, so subtract 4 from both sides.

Answer 4

Then you divide both sides by 3 since division by 3 is the opposite operation of multiplying by 3.

Answer 5

So X=3?

Answer 6

x=10.7 because when u devide everything u add it all together to see if it plugs back in to equal 14

Answer 7

and then x= 3.3

Answer 8

3x + 4 = 14
Subtract 4 from both sides:
3x + 4 = 14
-4 -4
----------
3x = 10

Now divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 10/3

Solution is
x = 10/3

Answer 9

or 3.3 its the same thing
