Answer:
x=(5)/(2)

Explanation:

Simplify the expression:


-2x+14+10x=34


\left(-2x+10x\right)+14=34


8x+14=34

Group all constants on the right side of the equation:


8x+14-14=34-14


8x=34-14


8x=20

Isolate the x:


(8x)/(8)=(20)/(8)


x=(20)/(8)


x=(5\cdot 4)/(2\cdot 4)


x=(5)/(2)

The
CORRECTanswer to this solution is:
x=(5)/(2)
