11x+14-5x-\left(-8\right)=25
To find the opposite of 5x-8, find the opposite of each term.
11x+14-5x+8=25
The opposite of -8 is 8.
6x+14+8=25
Combine 11x and -5x to get 6x.
6x+22=25
Add 14 and 8 to get 22.
6x=25-22
Subtract 22 from both sides.
6x=3
Subtract 22 from 25 to get 3.
x=\frac{3}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
