-6x + 7x + 14 = 3 First, you add the variables x between each other so we can have one number with variable x: x + 14 = 3 Then, subtract 14 from each side to get the variable x alone of a side, and its value on the other side: x + 14 - 14 = 3 - 14 x = - 11
You can re-check your answer (very important): -6x + 7x + 14 = -6(-11) + 7(-11) + 14 = 66 - 77 + 14 = -11 + 14 = 3 The answer has been approved.
