The answer is all numbers are the solution.

First, combine like terms on each side of the equation:

#18 + 10x = 14x - 4x + 18#

#18 + 10x = 10x + 18#

Next Subtract 18 from each side of the equation:

#18 + 10x - 18 = 10x + 18 - 18#

#10x = 10x#

Next divide each side of the equation by 10:

#(10x)/10 = (10x)/10#

#x = x#

The answer is all numbers are the solution.
