In order to determine the value of to make the equation true, we solve for the value of x, start first by transposing 10 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
14x + 10 = 38
14x = 38 -10
14x = 28
DIvide both sides by 14 in order to get the value of x.
x = 2
