Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $4$ by $2x-1$.

$$8x-4-6=14$$

Subtract $6$ from $-4$ to get $-10$.

$$8x-10=14$$

Add $10$ to both sides.

$$8x=14+10$$

Add $14$ and $10$ to get $24$.

$$8x=24$$

Divide both sides by $8$.

$$x=\frac{24}{8}$$

Divide $24$ by $8$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
