Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
When doing these types of problems, the main goal is to get the variable by itself. Its kind of hard to explain with words so I will just use numbers.
15x + 14 = 149
(Subtract 14 on both sides. Remember, when you do something (Like subtracting, adding, etc.) on one side you have to do it to the other.)
15x + 14 = 149
-14 = -14
---------------------------
15x = 135
(Divide 15 on both sides. Since we need to use inverse operation to cancel the 15 out, we would divide 15 on both sides.)
15x/15 = 135/15
x = 9
Hope this helps :)
