Ok
OpenStudy (jennyrlz):
now to solve it
OpenStudy (jennyrlz):
isolate the variable
OpenStudy (jennyrlz):
subtract 14 from both sides
OpenStudy (jennyrlz):
58=2x

now to get what one pass is divide both sides by 2
OpenStudy (jennyrlz):
29=x
OpenStudy (jennyrlz):
then to make sure it works you can plug it back into the equation 2(29)+14 = 62
