2x-8x%2B14=0 Start with the given equation.


-6x%2B14=0 Combine like terms on the left side.


-6x=0-14 Subtract 14 from both sides.


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


x=%28-14%29%2F%28-6%29 Divide both sides by -6 to isolate x.


x=7%2F3 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=7%2F3
