Answer: x = -3
Explanation:
Given expression
-2 (3x - 1) + x = 14 - x
Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property
-6x + 2 + x = 14 - x
Combine like terms
(-6x + x) + 2 = 14 - x
-5x + 2 = 14 - x
Add x on both sides
-5x + 2 + x = 14 - x + x
-4x + 2 = 14
Subtract 2 on both sides
-4x + 2 - 2 = 14 - 2
-4x = 12
Divide -4 on both sides
-4x / -4 = 12 / -4

Hope this helps!! :)
