Hi There!

The answer to your problem is A) 4

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

Add '-14' to each side of the equation.


14 + -14 + -1x = 10 + -14

Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0


0 + -1x = 10 + -14


-1x = 10 + -14

Combine like terms: 10 + -14 = -4


-1x = -4

Get your answer


x = 4

Hope This Helps!
