Explanation:
To solve for x first we have to put all terms that contain x together:
[tex]4x+5=x+14[/tex]Substract x from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x-x+5=x-x+14 \\ 3x+5=14 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now substract 5 from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x+5-5=14-5 \\ 3x=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]And finally divide both sides by 3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{9}{3} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer:
x = 3
