First off, we're going to have to plot out the question -
x−30=14−3x
First, what I want to do is to get all the numbers to one side, and all the unknown variables to the other, so what I'm going to do is add 30 to each side of the equal mark, I also want to add 3x to both sides, now what I have is
4x=44
After that, we divide x by 4 to get 1x, and we do that to 44 too, so we get.
x=11
