Answer:

x= 2.5

Explanation:

Simplifying

2x + -14 = -9

Reorder the terms:

-14 + 2x = -9

Solving

-14 + 2x = -9

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '14' to each side of the equation.

-14 + 14 + 2x = -9 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0

0 + 2x = -9 + 14

2x = -9 + 14

Combine like terms: -9 + 14 = 5

2x = 5

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 2.5

Simplifying

x = 2.5
