Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

14=7(2x-4)

14/7=2x-4

2=2x-4

2x=2+4

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3

------------

14=7(2x-4)

14=14x-28

14x=14+28

14x=42

x=42/14

x=3

[tex]14=7(2x-4)\\2=2x-4\\2x=6\\x=3\\\\14=7(2x-4)\\14=14x-28\\14x=42\\x=3[/tex]

I prefer the first method, because I don't do unnecessary multiplication and therefore operate on smaller numbers.
