1. Distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation: 2(2x-7) = 4x - 14
2. Rewrite the equation with the distributed term: 3x - 8 = 4x - 14
3. Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term: -8 = x - 14
4. Add 14 to both sides of the equation: -8 + 14 = x
5. Simplify the equation: 6 = x
Therefore, the solution to 3x - 8 = 2(2x-7) is x = 6.
