We can solve for the variable [tex]x[/tex] by isolating it on one side of the equals sign.

Start by adding [tex]4[/tex] to both sides to cancel out the [tex]-4[/tex] on the left side of the equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3x-4+4&=14+4\\3x&=18\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now divide both sides of the equation by [tex]3[/tex] since [tex]3x[/tex] is the same as [tex]3*x[/tex] and we want to isolate [tex]x[/tex], keeping in mind that anything multiplied by [tex]1[/tex] is itself.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3x&=18\\3*x&=18\\3*x\div3&=18\div3\\x*3\div3&=18\div3\\x*1&=6\\x&=\boxed{6}\end{aligned}[/tex]
