Either 4 or 14 depending on the interpretation of the question.

Explanation:

If the x is multiplied by 14, then

14x+33=43 subtract 3 from both sides

14x=1 now multiply both sides by 4

x=4

If x is in the denominator, then

14x+3=4

14x=1 multiply both sides by 4x

1=4x

x=14

So the answer depends on if you meant for x to be in the denominator or multiplied by 14.
