You can put this solution on YOUR website! 14x-3=10x+1
14x - 3 = 10x + 1
Subtract 10x from each side of the equation.
14x - 3 - 10x = 10x + 1 - 10x
Combine like terms:
14x - 10x = 4x
10x - 10x = 0
Therefore:
4x - 3 = 1
Add +3 to each side of the equation.
4x - 3 + 3 = 1 + 3
Combine like terms:
-3 + 3 = 0
1 + 3 = 4
4x = 4
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 4/4
x = 1
