Question

Solve for $x$:
$14(x-6)+8=50$

• A. 6
• B. 9
• C. 12
• D. 18

Answer 1

The correct option is B 9

Given,
$14(x-6)+8=50$

By transposing a term from one side to another side, we mean changing its sign and carrying it to the other side.
$14(x-6)=50-8$

Transpose ‘8’ from LHS to RHS
$14(x-6)=42$
$x-6=\frac{42}{14}$

Divide both sides by 14,
$x-6=3$
$x=3+6$
$x=9$

Transpose ‘6’ from LHS to RHS
