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.
