D. Subtract 4 from both sides
To solve for x, you need to eliminate it. We can start to do this by subtracting 4 on each side.
5x+4=14
-4 -4
This leaves you with... 5x+10
Now that we have this equation, to completely eliminate x, you need to divide both sides by 5.
5x=10
/5 /5
Now you have your answer,
×=2
