"THE four steps"? Exactly four steps?

-13x-4+3x=14-x as given.
! Add +x to both sides.
! Add +4 to both sides. Perform any simplifications.
! Combine all like-terms of x, (reverse of distributive property). Perform any simplifications.
! Multiply both sides by the multiplicative inverse of the coefficient on x.

Yes, those are four steps.
