-x%2B14=7%282%2B3x%29 Start with the given equation.


-x%2B14=14%2B21x Distribute.


-x=14%2B21x-14 Subtract 14 from both sides.


-x-21x=14-14 Subtract 21x from both sides.


-22x=14-14 Combine like terms on the left side.


-22x=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%280%29%2F%28-22%29 Divide both sides by -22 to isolate x.


x=0 Reduce.
