Start the equation by putting the equations equal to each other 3x+14=7x-10
Next +10 on both sides
3x+14=7x-10
+10 +10
You are left with 3x+24=7x
because the 10's canceled each other out.
Next -3x on both sides
3x+24=7x
-3x +3x
You are left with 24= 10x
because like before the 3's canceled each other out
Now you will divide both sides by 10
24=10x

10 10

In the given question, there are numerous information's already provided. It is important to note then down first. With the help of those given information's the required answer can be easily reached.
Percentage of students that weighed 140 pounds = 75 percent
Then

= 25 percent
Total number of students that were weighed = 40 students
Total number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds = (25/100) * 40
= (40/4) students
= 10 students
So the number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds is 10. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option "1".
