8x-7=4x+14-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+7.
8x-7=4x+9
Subtract 5 from 14 to get 9.
8x-7-4x=9
Subtract 4x from both sides.
4x-7=9
Combine 8x and -4x to get 4x.
4x=9+7
Add 7 to both sides.
4x=16
Add 9 and 7 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=4
Divide 16 by 4 to get 4.
