Answer

x=6

Work Step by Step

We need to get the x alone. We need to use multiplication to cancel out division, so we multiply both sides by 2 to get that x+8=14. We now cancel out the addition by subtracting 8 on both sides, giving us a final answer of x=6. We plug 6 in for x and confirm that our answer is, indeed, correct.
