2x%2B14=6-4x Start with the given equation.


2x=6-4x-14 Subtract 14 from both sides.


2x%2B4x=6-14 Add 4x to both sides.


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


6x=-8 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-8%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.


x=-4%2F3 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is x=-4%2F3 which approximates to x=-1.333.
