Combine like terms together
4 - 14 = -10
8x - 10 = -26
Isolate the x, do the opposite of PEMDAS. (Note, because of equal sign, what you do to one side you do to the other)
8x - 10 = -26
8x - 10 (+10) = -26 (+10)
8x = -26 + 10
8x = -16
8x/8 = -16/8
x = -16/8
x = -2
x = - 2 is your answer
hope this helps
