Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+4) - 10 =14

distribute the 2       2x +8 -10 +14

simplify                     2x-2=14

add 2                        2x=16

devide by 2               x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x + 4) - 10 = 14  (evaluate parentheses i.e  PEDMAS)

2x + (2)(4) - 10 = 14

2x + 8 - 10 = 14  

2x -2 = 14  (add 2 to both sides)

2x  = 14 + 2

2x  = 16   (divide both sides by 2)

x  = 16/2

x = 8
