30x-5=14x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x.
30x-5-14x=0
Subtract 14x from both sides.
16x-5=0
Combine 30x and -14x to get 16x.
16x=5
Add 5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{5}{16}
Divide both sides by 16.
