Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

-1 + 14x = 12x + 17

Rearrange terms.

14x - 1 = 12x + 17

Add 1 to both sides of the equation.

14x - 1 + 1 = 12x + 17 + 1

Simplify.

14x = 12x + 17 + 1

14x = + 12x + 18

Subtract 12x from both sides of the equation.

14x - 12x = + 12x - 12x + 18

Simplify.

2x = + 12x - 12x + 18

2x = 18

18 ÷ 2 = 9

x = 9
