Solve 2x+c=16x=?

$$2 x + c = 16 x = ?$$

Solve for c

$$c=14x$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$c=16x-2x$$

Combine 16x and -2x to get 14x.

$$c=14x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{c}{14}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 16x from both sides.

$$2x+c-16x=0$$

Combine 2x and -16x to get -14x.

$$-14x+c=0$$

Subtract c from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-14x=-c$$

Divide both sides by -14.

$$\frac{-14x}{-14}=-\frac{c}{-14}$$

Dividing by -14 undoes the multiplication by -14.

$$x=-\frac{c}{-14}$$

Divide -c by -14.

$$x=\frac{c}{14}$$
