Answer:

To me a two column proof is usually associated with Euclidean Geometry.

To use it here in this rather simplistic problem is like using a sledge hammer to drive in a finishing nail ...

here is what I would do

7y=8x-14; y=6

then:

42 = 8x - 14

56 = 8x

x = 56/8 = 7

There! I have proven it.
