Hey there!
This is a one-step equation, meaning that we can solve it in one step.
This is the step:
- Subtract 14 from both sides
Goal:
- To find out the value of x
Subtract 14:
x+14-14=63-14
the 14's on the left cancel:
x=49
Hence, the answer is

Hope everything is clear.

40,023,032 = (4 x 1000000000) + (0 x 100000000) + (0 x 10000000) + (0 x 1000000) + (2 x 100000) + (3 x 10000) + (0 x 1000) + (0 x 100) + (3 x 10) + (2 x 1)
4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

Looks right to me! Great work!
