Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-14+=+3%28x%2B2%29\" Apply the distributive property to the right side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-14+=+3x%2B6\" Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-14+=+2x%2B6\" Subtract 6 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-20+=+2x\" Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-10+=+x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -10
\n" ); document.write( "
