The first step for solving this expression is to move the variable to the right side of the equation and then change its sign.
2x = -16 + 14y
Now divide both sides of the equation by 2.
x = -8 + 7y
Since we cannot simplify this equation any further,, the correct answer will be that x = -8 + 7y.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

2x - 14y = -16

Move all the terms without the variable on the other side of the equation. Add 14y to both sides of the equation.

2x = -16 + 14y

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -8 + 7y is your answer.
