14x%2B20=22x-12 Start with the given equation.


14x=22x-12-20 Subtract 20 from both sides.


14x-22x=-12-20 Subtract 22x from both sides.


-8x=-12-20 Combine like terms on the left side.


-8x=-32 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-32%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x.


x=4 Reduce.
