will fan and give medal(: Given that g(x) = 4x + 6, find the value of x that makes g(x) = 14. −50 −5 2 8

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

Insert 14 into g(x): \[14 = 4x + 6\] And then solve the equation to find x.

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

Do you need any more help or can you finish the rest

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

@lexber

OpenStudy (lexber):

i need more help please @isaiahjwolfe

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

To solve for x you want to get x by itself on one side.

OpenStudy (lexber):

so 14=4+6(14)

OpenStudy (lexber):

?

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

No, x is on the right side so you want to move the numbers to the left.

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

Lets start with 6.

OpenStudy (lexber):

okay so

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

To move + 6 you need to reverse it from +6 to -6, and then that cancels it out. But what you do to one side you need to do to the other. So you also subract 6 from 14 and get:\[8 = 4x\]

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

Can you do the last step?

OpenStudy (lexber):

so 2?

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

Yup

OpenStudy (lexber):

i think

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

x = 2

OpenStudy (lexber):

thank you!!
