x=-4
OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):
We can begin by distributing the 6 into the parenthesis
\[\large -18 - 6x - 2x = 14\]
Now combine like terms...the -6x - 2x = 8x so
\[\large -18 - 8x = 14\]
Now just add 18 to both sides of this equation
\[\large -8x = 32\]
and finally divide both sides by -8
\[\large x = -4\]

Step 1: Subtract 12x from both sides.
10x+4−12x=12x−16−12x
−2x+4=−16
Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.
−2x+4−4=−16−4
−2x=−20
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x
−2
=
−20
−2
x=10
Answer:
x=10
