Question

solve the equation.

5x-3=14x+6

Answer 1

9x = - 9
x = -1

Answer 2

to do that, you isolate x on one side and the constants on the other side. so the first step would be to subtract 5x from both sides and add 3 to both sides so you get
0=9x+9

Then you subtract 9 from both sides and you get
-9=9x

Then divide both sides by nine, and you get
-1=x
