Answer: the answer is x=3

Explanation:

1st: we see like terms such as 6x and 3x and 5 and 14

2nd: we have to shift the numbers to one side so let’s move the 3x with the 6x we see that 3x being added so we do inverse that means 6x-3x= 3x

3rd: now our equation is: 3x+5=14 (we see that 5 is added so we do the inverse 14-5=9

4th: 3x=9 all there is to do is divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself which gives us 3

**just in case you don’t know what inverse means it’s the opposite so opposite of adding is subtracting**

(hope it helps with your confusion)
