Answer 1

 

Hi Linda,

 

     3x + 14 = 62

 

First, let's subtract 14 from both sides of the equality as follows.

 

     3x + 14 - 14 = 62 - 14

 

Then, we get

 

     3x = 48

 

Next, let's divide both sides of the equality by 3.

 

     3x/3 = 48/3

 

     x = 16

 

So, we've got x = 16 as the final solution.
