    x       
x - - = 14/5
    5       
$$- \frac{x}{5} + x = \frac{14}{5}$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x-(1/5)*x = (14/5)

Expand brackets in the left part
x-1/5x = (14/5)

Expand brackets in the right part
x-1/5x = 14/5

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
4*x/5 = 14/5

Divide both parts of the equation by 4/5
x = 14/5 / (4/5)

We get the answer: x = 7/2
