What is the value of x in the equation 3x+2=14?

  1. 3

  2. 4

  3. 5

  4. 6

The correct answer is: 5

To solve this equation, we can subtract 2 from both sides to get 3x=12. Then, we divide both sides by 3 to isolate x, giving us x=4. This means that option B is incorrect because it is one less than the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because it is one less than the coefficient being multiplied by x. Option D is incorrect because it is one more than the correct answer.
