Answer:


\large\boxed{\text{One solution.}}

14x - 9 + 8x + 3 = 9x - 8 - 3x - 14

Combine like terms:

14x + 8x - 9 + 3 = 9x - 3x - 8 - 14

22x - 6 = 6x - 22

Subtract 6x from both sides:

22x - 6x - 6 = 6x - 6x - 22

16x - 6 = -22

Add 6 to both sides:

16x - 6 + 6 = -22 + 6

16x = -16

Divide both sides by 16:

16x/16 = -16/16

x = -1. There is only one solution to this equation.
