Answer:


x=4

Explanation:


\textbf{Hi there!}


2x + 6=7x-14


\textnormal{\mathrm{Subtract\:}6\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}}


2x+6-6=7x-14-6


2x=7x-20


\textnormal{\mathrm{Subtract\:}7x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}}


2x-7x=7x-20-7x


-5x=-20


\textnormal{\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-5}


(-5x)/(-5)=(-20)/(-5)


x=4
