Answer:

Explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

-6*x-(84)=0

Step by step solution :

STEP 1: Pulling out like terms

1.1 Pull out like factors :

-6x - 84 = -6 • (x + 14)

Equation at the end of step 1:

STEP 2: Equations which are never true

2.1 Solve : -6 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x+14 = 0

Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation :

x = -14

One solution was found :

x = -14
