You can put this solution on YOUR website!
14-6x=20%2B4x Start with the given equation.


-6x=20%2B4x-14 Subtract 14 from both sides.


-6x-4x=20-14 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-10x=20-14 Combine like terms on the left side.


-10x=6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%286%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate x.


x=-3%2F5 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=-3%2F5


Note: 3%2F%28-5%29 reduces to -3%2F5
