14=x\times 5-1
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
x\times 5-1=14
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x\times 5=14+1
Add 1 to both sides.
x\times 5=15
Add 14 and 1 to get 15.
x=\frac{15}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=3
Divide 15 by 5 to get 3.
