To solve the equation x/3 + 2x = 14, we need to combine like terms and isolate x.

First, let’s get rid of the fraction by multiplying every term by 3: 3 * (x/3) + 3 * (2x) = 3 * 14 x + 6x = 42

Now, combine like terms: 7x = 42

To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 7: (7x)/7 = 42/7 x = 6

Therefore, the solution to the equation x/3 + 2x = 14 is x = 6.
