we are given
number is x-14
denominator is 2
so, we can write equation as
[tex] \frac{x-14}{2} =12 [/tex]
Firstly , we will multiply both sides by 2
[tex] 2*\frac{x-14}{2} =2*12 [/tex]
[tex] x-14 =24 [/tex]
now, we can isolate x on anyone side
we can add both sides 14
[tex] x-14 +14=24+14 [/tex]
[tex] x=38 [/tex]................Answer
