Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 14 =1

5x - 14 + 14 = 1 + 14

5x = 15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3

"Fourteen less than..."
? - 14

"... 5 times a number..."
5x - 14

"... is 1."
5x - 14 = 1

Now if you are looking to solve that equation, start by adding 14 to both sides:
5x = 15

Then divide both sides by 5:
x = 15/5
x = 3

Answer:
5x - 14 = 1
