2%284x-7%29-3x=x%2B14 Start with the given equation.


8x-14-3x=x%2B14 Distribute.


5x-14=x%2B14 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=x%2B14%2B14 Add 14 to both sides.


5x-x=14%2B14 Subtract x from both sides.


4x=14%2B14 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=28 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2828%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


x=7 Reduce.
