2x%2B5x-6=14x-32 Start with the given equation.


7x-6=14x-32 Combine like terms on the left side.


7x=14x-32%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


7x-14x=-32%2B6 Subtract 14x from both sides.


-7x=-32%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7x=-26 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-26%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate x.


x=26%2F7 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=26%2F7
