\huge\text{$x=\boxed{6}$}

We can solve for the variable
x by isolating it on one side of the equals sign.

Start by adding
4 to both sides to cancel out the
-4 on the left side of the equation.


\begin{aligned}3x-4+4&=14+4\\3x&=18\end{aligned}

Now divide both sides of the equation by
3 since
3x is the same as
3*x and we want to isolate
x, keeping in mind that anything multiplied by
1 is itself.


\begin{aligned}3x&=18\\3*x&=18\\3*x/3&=18/3\\x*3/3&=18/3\\x*1&=6\\x&=\boxed{6}\end{aligned}
