Solve [tex]\( 5x + 14 = k \)[/tex] for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:

A. [tex]\( x = \frac{k - 14}{5} \)[/tex]

B. [tex]\( x = 5k - 14 \)[/tex]

C. [tex]\( x = \frac{k + 14}{5} \)[/tex]

D. [tex]\( x = k - 14 \)[/tex]



Answer :

To solve the equation [tex]\(5x + 14 = k\)[/tex] for [tex]\(x\)[/tex], we need to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex] on one side of the equation. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Start with the given equation:
[tex]\[ 5x + 14 = k \][/tex]

2. Subtract 14 from both sides to isolate the term containing [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 5x = k - 14 \][/tex]

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{k - 14}{5} \][/tex]

Thus, the solution to the given equation [tex]\(5x + 14 = k\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{k - 14}{5} \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct choice is:
A. [tex]\( x = \frac{k - 14}{5} \)[/tex]
