Answer:


\bf x=-\cfrac{1}{2}


\bf x=-0.5

Explanation:


\bf 2x-14x=6

Combine like terms:-


\bf -12x=6

Divide both sides by -12:-


\bf \cfrac{-12x}{-12}=\cfrac{6}{-12}

Simplify:-


\bf x=-\cfrac{1}{2}

Explanation:


2x - 14x = 6


- 12x = 6

Now divide both side by same factor


( - 12x)/( - 12x ) = (6)/( - 12x) \\

Now simplify ...


x = - (1)/(2) \\
