We can do this problem in many ways.
2(x -1) = 14...dividing through by 2, we have;
x - 1 = 7
x = 7 + 1
x = 8 ......ANSWER!
2(x -1) = 14 ......Removing brackets, we have;
2x - 2 = 14
2x = 14 + 2
2x = 16 ......dividing both sides by 2, we have;
x = 8 .......ANSWER!

2(x -1) = 14 ===> 2x-2 = 14 ===> 2x = 16 ===> x = 8
have a good day ð
distribute the 2
2x-2=14
add 2 to both sides
2x = 16
divide 2 in order to get x by itself
x = 8
