Mathematically written:
x * 4 + 2 = 14
4x + 2 = 14
4x = 14 - 2
4x = 12
x = 12 / 4
x = 3
Proof:
3 * 4 + 2 = 14
12 + 2 = 14
14 = 14 → both sides of the equation are equal, our answer is correct
Notes:
A number - An unknown number, called a variable, and which is this case is substituted by the letter x
Product - Answer given by a multiplication, therefore, we multiply 4 by x
