Question
$14=\frac{7\text{x}}{10}-8$

Answer

$14=\frac{7\text{x}}{10}-8$ Adding $8$ to both sides,
we get $14+8=\frac{7\text{x}}{10}-8+8$
$22=\frac{7\text{x}}{10}$ Multiplying both sides by $10$,
we get $22\times10=\frac{7\text{x}}{10}\times10$
$220=7\text{x}$ Dividing both sides by $7,$
we get $\frac{220}{7}=\frac{7\text{x}}{7}$
$\text{x}=\frac{220}{7}$
Verfication: Substituting $\text{x}=\frac{220}{7}$ $R.H.S$.,
we get $L.H.S. = 14$ and $\text{R.H.S.}=\frac{\frac{220}{7}}{\frac{7}{10}}10-8$
$=\frac{220}{10}-8$
$=22-8=14$
$L.H.S. = R.H.S$. Hence, verified.
