5x-14=36
Square both sides of the equation.
5x-14-\left(-14\right)=36-\left(-14\right)
Add 14 to both sides of the equation.
5x=36-\left(-14\right)
Subtracting -14 from itself leaves 0.
5x=50
Subtract -14 from 36.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{50}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{50}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=10
Divide 50 by 5.
