3x-9=6x-14 Start with the given equation.


3x=6x-14%2B9 Add 9 to both sides.


3x-6x=-14%2B9 Subtract 6x from both sides.


-3x=-14%2B9 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x=-5 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-5%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=5%2F3 Reduce.
