The given equation is <strong>5x + 14 = k<\/strong>. It is a linear equation that follows the form of <strong>ax + b = c<\/strong>, where <strong>a = 5<\/strong>, <strong>b = 14<\/strong>, and <strong>c = k<\/strong>. Solving such an equation involves performing inverse operations to eliminate the constants and coefficients surrounding the variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by removing the number added to the term containing <strong>x<\/strong>. In this case, <strong>14<\/strong> is added to <strong>5x<\/strong>. The inverse of addition is subtraction, so subtract <strong>14<\/strong> from both sides of the equation. This keeps the equation balanced and simplifies the left side to just the term <strong>5x<\/strong>. The right side becomes <strong>k \u2212 14<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you are left with <strong>5x = k \u2212 14<\/strong>. The next step is to remove the coefficient <strong>5<\/strong> that is multiplied by <strong>x<\/strong>. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. So divide both sides of the equation by <strong>5<\/strong>. This step isolates <strong>x<\/strong> completely and gives the expression <strong>x = (k \u2212 14)\/5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This solution is considered general because <strong>k<\/strong> can be any constant or variable expression. This form is useful in algebra when working with unknown quantities or when graphing linear functions. It shows that <strong>x<\/strong> depends directly on the value of <strong>k<\/strong> and changes as <strong>k<\/strong> changes. This expression helps in understanding the relationship between the variable <strong>x<\/strong> and any given value assigned to <strong>k<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solve 5x +14 = k For x.
