What is the solution to the following equation?

14x−8=4

14x-8=4

14x=4+8

14x=12

x=12/14

x=6/7

hope it helps

x = 6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

14x - 8 = 4

Add 8 to both sides.

14x = 12

Divide both sides by 14.

x = 12/14.

Simplify

x = 6/7

Proof:

14x - 8 = 4

Substitute variable.

14(6/7) - 8 = 4

Multiply.

12 - 8 = 4

Subtract.

4 = 4.

Let m be the unknown number:
The product of 5 and the sum of two and the number: 5*(2+m)
is five times the number = 5m

5(2+m) = 5m

Divide both sides by 5:

2 + m= m

Subtract m from both sides:

2 = 0
When you get a nonsense result like 2=0, it means that there is no solution to the equation; that is, there is no number that equals itself plus 2 (2+m=m)
