To solve the equation 23(x − 6) = 14, you can start by distributing the 23 to the terms inside the parentheses:

23x − 138 = 14

Next, isolate the variable by adding 138 to both sides of the equation:

23x = 14 + 138
23x = 152

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 23 to solve for x:

x = 152/23 = 6.61

Therefore, the correct answer is none of the given options. The solution to the equation is x = 6.61.
