14 + 2x = -6 - 3x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x from each side of the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "14 + 2x - 2x = -6 - 3x - 2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x - 2x = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-3x - 2x = -5x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "14 = -6 - 5x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 6 to each side of the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "14 + 6 = -6 - 5x + 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "14 + 6 = 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-6 + 6 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20 = -5x or\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-5x = 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by -5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-5x/-5 = 20/-5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -4\r
