To solve for x you need to isolate it on one side of the equal sign
\n" ); document.write( "in this problem we can do that by subtracting 14 from both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "-2 - 14 = x + 14 -14
\n" ); document.write( "The -2 and the -14 combine to make - 16
\n" ); document.write( "and on the other side + 14 and - 14 combine to make zero
\n" ); document.write( "so the answer is
\n" ); document.write( "-16 = x
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
