Explanation:

The given equation is :

(14+10x)/(12)=-3

Cross multiply,

$14+10x=-3* 12\\\\14+10x=-36\\\\10x=-36-14\\\\10x=-50\\\\x=-5$

This equation will have only one solution.

We can check the solution as follows :

Put x = -5 in LHS of the the given equation.

$\text{LHS}=(14+10x)/(12)\\\\=(14+10(-5))/(12)\\\\=(14-50)/(12)\\\\=(-36)/(12)\\\\=-3$

= RHS

Hence, this is the required solution.
