12x-14=9x%2B10 Start with the given equation.


12x=9x%2B10%2B14 Add 14 to both sides.


12x-9x=10%2B14 Subtract 9x from both sides.


3x=10%2B14 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x=24 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2824%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x=8 Reduce.
