Given:
The equation is
[tex]2(x+14)=40[/tex]
To find:
The solution of the given equation.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]2(x+14)=40[/tex]
Using distributive property, we get
[tex]2(x)+2(14)=40[/tex]
[tex]2x+28=40[/tex]
Subtracting 28 from both sides.
[tex]2x=40-28[/tex]
[tex]2x=12[/tex]
On dividing both sides by 2, we get
[tex]x=6[/tex]
Therefore, the solution of the given equation is x = 6.
