Answer:


\boxed{\sf{x=5}}

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, you only need to isolate the term x.

Add 14 from both sides.


\sf{6x-14+14=4x-4+14}

Solve.

6x=4x+10

Subtract by 4x from both sides.


\sf{6x-4x=4x+10-4x}

Solve.

2x=10

Divide by 2 from both sides.

2x/2=10/2

Solve.

10/2=5

x=5

Therefore, the correct answer is x=5.
