Hello there!

4(3x - 11) + 23 = 5x - 14

Apply the distributive property to 4(3x - 11)
4(3x) + 4(-11)
12x - 44

We now have:
12x - 44 + 23 = 5x - 14
Combine like-terms on the left-hand side of the equation.
-44 + 23 = -21

12x - 21 = 5x - 14
Get x on one side by subtracting 5x from both sides..
12x - 5x = 7x
5x - 5x = 0

7x - 21 = -14
Add 21 to both sides to isolate 7x.
-21 + 21 = 0
-14 + 21 = 7

7x = 7
Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x.
7x / 7 = x
7 / 7 = 1

We are now left with the following solution:
x = 1

I hope this helps!
