To solve the equation, you first need to combine like terms on both sides.

18 + 3x = x + 14
3x + 70 = 2x + 15

Now, subtract x from both sides in the first equation to simplify:

18 + 2x = 14
2x + 70 = 2x + 15

Now, subtract 2x from both sides in the second equation to simplify:

70 = 15

This is a false statement, meaning there is no solution to the equation.
