Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write your equation

  • (3x + 14) = (9x - 4)

Subtract 9x from both sides

3x + 14 − 9x = 9x − 4 − 9x

−6x + 14 = −4

Subtract 14 from both sides

−6x + 14 − 14 = −4 − 14

−6x = −18

Divide both sides by -6

−6x / -6 = −18 / -6

x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

9x + -4 = 3x + 14

Reorder the terms:

-4 + 9x = 3x + 14

Reorder the terms:

-4 + 9x = 14 + 3x

Solving

-4 + 9x = 14 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 9x + -3x = 14 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 9x + -3x = 6x

-4 + 6x = 14 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-4 + 6x = 14 + 0

-4 + 6x = 14

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 6x = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 6x = 14 + 4

6x = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18

6x = 18

Divide each side by '6'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3
