- 1 + 14x = 12x + 17


14x - 1 = 12x + 17

Add sides 1


14x - 1 + 1 =12x + 17 + 1


14x = 12x + 18

Subtract sides 12x


- 12x + 14x = - 12x + 12x + 18 \\


2x = 18

Divide sides by 2


(2x)/(2) = (18)/(2) \\


x = 9

CHECK :


14(9) - 1 = 12(9) + 17


126 - 1 = 108 + 17


125 = 125

Thus the solution is correct .
