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.
