Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.

Answer: x = 4
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we could go right to our steps of subtracting 5.4 from both sides, but I would do a slightly different approach.
Since I hate working with decimals, I would get rid of them.
We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10, and remember to multiply every term by 10 to keep it balanced.
*Multiplying by 10 shifts the decimal point 1 place to the right
So we have 35x + 54 = 194 which looks a lot better.
Now subtract 54 from both sides to get 35x = 140.
Now divide both sides by 35 and x = 4.
