Find the value for x 2x+14=40

Answer: x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Reorder the terms:

14 + 2x = 40

Solving

14 + 2x = 40

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-14' to each side of the equation.

14 + - 14 + 2x = 40 + - 14

Combine like terms: 14 + - 14 = 0

0 + 2x = 40 + - 14

2x = 40 + - 14

Combine like terms: 40 + - 14 = 26

2x = 26

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 13

Simplifying

x = 13
