How do you solve 2x + 6 = 14 on the ACT math test?
Subtract 6 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide both sides by 2, so x = 4. You can check it by putting 4 back in: 2(4) + 6 = 14.

Hi, I'm Leo, Brainrise's AI assistant. ACT math: 2x plus 6 equals 14. x is 4. Brainrise shows every step. Tap the link: seven days free.
This is a 16-second reel we posted on Facebook and Instagram. Leo, an AI-generated presenter for Brainrise, states an ACT math equation and its answer.
Brainrise writes out every step like this in the explanation for each SAT and ACT practice question, so a student can follow the reasoning instead of only seeing the final answer.
Why subtract 6 first?
To get the term with x by itself. Undoing the + 6 leaves 2x = 8, and then one division by 2 finishes it.
Is Leo a real student or tutor?
No. Leo is an AI-generated presenter and says so at the start of the video. He is not a real person, and the video is not a testimonial.
What does it cost and is there a free trial?
The 7-day free trial requires a card; after the trial it is $24 a month for one exam (SAT or ACT) or $36 a month for both, and you can cancel any time. Brainrise is not available to New York residents.
