Answer (3)

18 - 2x = 6x - 14 18 - 18 - 2x = 6x - 14 - 18 -2x = 6x - 32 -2x - 6x = 6x - 6x - 32 -8x = -32 -8x/-8 = -32/-8 x = 4

The **value **of x is 4 in the equation 18-2x=6x-14.
What is Equation?
Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.
The given equation is 18-2x=6x-14
eighteen minus two times of x equal to six times of x minus fourteen.
x is the **variable **in the given equation.
18-2x=6x-14
Add 14 on both sides
18+14-2x=6x
32-2x=6x
**Add **2x on both sides
32=8x
**Divide **both sides by 8
x=4
Hence, the value of x is 4 in the equation 18-2x=6x-14.
