Question

1. 2y + x = 14

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the Goal

Assume we want to solve for \( x \) in terms of \( y \) (or vice versa). Let's solve for \( x \) first.

Step2: Isolate \( x \)

Subtract \( 2y \) from both sides of the equation \( 2y + x = 14 \).

$$ x = 14 - 2y $$

If we wanted to solve for \( y \):

Step3: Isolate \( y \)

Subtract \( x \) from both sides: \( 2y = 14 - x \). Then divide by 2:

$$ y = \frac{14 - x}{2} = 7 - \frac{x}{2} $$

Answer:

If solving for \( x \): \( x = 14 - 2y \)
If solving for \( y \): \( y = 7 - \frac{x}{2} \) (or \( y = \frac{14 - x}{2} \))
