x+3-7x-\left(-4\right)=x-14
To find the opposite of 7x-4, find the opposite of each term.
x+3-7x+4=x-14
The opposite of -4 is 4.
-6x+3+4=x-14
Combine x and -7x to get -6x.
-6x+7=x-14
Add 3 and 4 to get 7.
-6x+7-x=-14
Subtract x from both sides.
-7x+7=-14
Combine -6x and -x to get -7x.
-7x=-14-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
-7x=-21
Subtract 7 from -14 to get -21.
x=\frac{-21}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=3
Divide -21 by -7 to get 3.
