2+\left(x-1\right)\times 4=14
Variable x cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-1.
2+4x-4=14
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by 4.
-2+4x=14
Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.
4x=14+2
Add 2 to both sides.
4x=16
Add 14 and 2 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=4
Divide 16 by 4 to get 4.
