To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation: 8x - 14 = 10
Add 14 to both sides of the equation to get rid of -14 on the left side:
8x - 14 + 14 = 10 + 14
8x = 24
Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
8x/8 = 24/8
x = 3
Therefore, x = 3.
