Answer:

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

[tex]4(x+4)-10=14[/tex]

Add 10 to both sides:

[tex]\begin{aligned}4(x+4)-10+10 & =14+10\\ 4(x+4) & =24\end{aligned}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\dfrac{4(x+4)}{4} & =\dfrac{24}{4}\\ x+4 & =6\end{aligned}[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x+4-4 & =6-4\\x & =2\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the solution is [tex]x=2[/tex]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the expression, we need to isolate the "x" variable. Start out by simplifying the distributive property on the left hand side.

Simplify the left hand side as needed to determine the "x" variable.

Subtract 6 both sides to isolate the "x" variable and it's cooeficient.

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the "x" variable. Our solution will be a constant on the right hand side.

Thus, the value of x is 2.
