Equation: 5x+14=375x+14=37

Answer: x = 4.6x=4.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5\color{red}{x}+\color{blue}{14}=

5x+14=

\,\,\color{purple}{37}

37

-\color{blue}{14}\phantom{=}

−14=

\,\,-\color{blue}{14}

−14

Subtract 14 from both sides

5\color{red}{x}=

5x=

\,\,23

23

\frac{5\color{red}{x}}{5}=

5

5x

​

=

\,\,\frac{23}{5}

5

23

​

 

Divide both sides by 5

\color{red}{x}=

x=

\,\,\boxed{4.6}

4.6
