14 - x = 5x - 4

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

If we substitute x for 3 it will give u the following expression:

14 - 3 = 5 x 3 - 4

If we solve both these expressions they will both give us: 11

This will prove the equation correct

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

14-x=5x-4

Add the x from the left side to the right

14=6x-4

and the 4 to the left side

16=6x

6x=18

x=3
