In order to answer the question, you need to isolate your terms, that is getting "x" alone on one side of the equation and the integer values alone on the other.

5x - 6 = 4x + 8

Start by adding 6 to both sides of the equation.

5x - 6 + 6 = 4x + 8 + 6

5x = 4x + 14

Then, subtract 4x from both sides.

5x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 14

x = 14

There's your answer!
