Find the solution of the equation 22x = 2(7 + 8x).

The correct answer is: 4

To find the solution for this equation, we need to first eliminate the parentheses by using the distributive property. This means multiplying 2 with both numbers inside the parentheses, giving us the new equation 22x = 14 + 16x. Next, we can combine like terms by subtracting 16x from both sides, giving us 6x = 14. Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 6, giving us the solution x = 2. Option A is incorrect because setting x=0 does not satisfy the equation. Option C is also incorrect because setting x=8 leads to an incorrect solution. Option D is incorrect because setting x=11 also leads to an incorrect solution. Therefore, the correct solution is option B, x=2.
