14 + 3x = 2 + 5x + 4

Combine like terms

14 + 3x = 6 + 5x

Subtract 6 on both sides

8 + 3x = 5x

Subtract 3x on both sides

8 = 2x

Divided 2 on both sides

x = 4

Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

14+3x=2+5x+4

Combine like terms

14 + 3x = 5x+6

Subtract 3x from each side

14+3x-3x = 5x-3x+6

14 = 2x+6

Subtract 6 from each side

14-6 = 2x+6-6

8 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

8/2 = 2x/2

4 =x
