+23245 You have two denominators, 14 and 28; find a common denominator for them and multiply both sides by this number; then, there will be no more fractions. So, multiply both sides by 28:
28 · (5x/14) = 28 · (5/28)
Since 28 · 5 / 14 = 10 and 28 · 5 / 28 = 5
---> 10x = 5 (Now, divide both sides by 10.)
---> x = 0.5
