The items below show the complete steps as to how this is being answered.

  1. 3x - 4 = 14 >>>> Given
   2. 3x - 4 + 4 = 14 + 4 >>>
      Step number 2 above is an addition property of equality. Both sides of the equation are added with 4. 
  3. Simplifying >>>
      3x = 18
   4. 3x/3 = 18/3 >>>> Division property of equality
   5. >>>> Simplifying,
        x = 6

Hence, the order of the choices as answers is C, E, B, A, D.
