Question

2.-6x + 14 = 12 - 8x

Answer 1

Answer: x = -1

Explanation:

Our task is to solve this equation for x.

First, subtract 14 from both sides:

`-6x=12-14-8x`

`-6x=-2-8x`

Add 8x to both sides:

`-6x+8x=-2`

`2x=-2`

Divide each side by 2:

`x=-1`

Therefore, x = -1.

Answer 2

x = -1

Explanation:

-6x + 14 = 12 - 8x

2x + 14 = 12

2x = -2

x = -1
