First, subtract 9 on both sides
So the equation will becomes -14x = 42, because 51 - 9 = 42
here we left with -14x = 42, and we divide -14 on both sides.
Therefore, it becomes -3, because -14 has a negative sign.
Solution : x = -3
9-14x=51
-14x = 42
x = -3

DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+9+%29-14%2Ax=51.
Moved 9 to the right of expression
It becomes -14%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+9+%29=51.
Look at -14%2Ax%2B9=highlight_red%28+51+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-51+%29
It becomes -14%2Ax%2B9-highlight_green%28+51+%29=0.
Look at -14%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+9+%29-highlight_red%28+51+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes -14%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-42+%29=0.
Look at -14%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-42+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -42
It becomes -14%2Ax-highlight_green%28+42+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-14%2Ax-42+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+-14%2Ax-42=0+%29 equivalent to -14*x-42 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=-3.
