Answer:
x = -2
Explanation:
First, distribute the -14(x+6).
x-5 = 49-14(x+6)
x-5 = 49-14x-84
Next, add up all the like terms (49+(-84))
x-5 = 49-14x-84
x-5 = -14x-35
Now, bring all the like terms to one side. All the x's to one side and all the numbers to the other side.
x-5 = -14x-35
x+14x = -35+5
15x = -30
Last, get x by itself.
15x = -30
x = -2
