Question

solve for x.
$40 = \frac{x}{4} + 14$
simplify your answer as much as possible.
$x = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 14 from both sides

$40 - 14 = \frac{x}{4} + 14 - 14$
$26 = \frac{x}{4}$

Step2: Multiply both sides by 4

$26 \times 4 = \frac{x}{4} \times 4$
$104 = x$

Answer:

$x = 104$
