14 - 6x = 20 + 4x 

Move all the terms with x on the left side, and the other terms on the right side. Then isolate x.


Subtract 4x from both sides.
14 - 10x = 20     


Subtract 14 from both sides.
-10x = 6     
    
Divide both sides by -10 to isolate the x
x = -6/10  
      
Reduce the fraction
x = -3/5          


Note: -3/5 is the same as 3/-5</PRE>
