Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
First start by simplifying the right side which is -5(x-8)+4. Apply the distributive property to have -5x-5*-8+4. Then simplify to -5x+40+4, and then to -5x+44. Now you are left with 14+5x = -5x+44. Move -5x to the left side, which now makes it positive, and do 5x+5x to have 14+10x=44. Now move 14 to the right side and subtract it from 44 to get 10x=30. Now divide both sides by 10 to have x=3.
