collect the x's so it will then be 14=11x-19
collect the numbers so it'll be 33=11x
divide by 11
x=3

Hi :)

#1 Subtract both sides by 4x


\rm{-7x-4x+14=-19}. this yields


\rm{-13x+14=-19}

#2 Subtract both sides by 14


\rm{-13x=-19-14}


\rm{-13x=-33}

#3 Cancel minus signs on both sides (divide both sides by -1)


\rm{13x=33}

#4 Divide 13 into both sides. this yields


\rm{x=(33)/(13)

answer ↝
\rm{x=^(33)\slash_(13)}
