one solution x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
distribute and simplify the right side of the equation.
- 6 - 4x = 8x - 14
subtract 8x from both sides
- 6 - 4x - 8x = - 14
- 6 - 12x = -14
add 6 to both sides
- 12x = - 14 + 6
- 12x = - 8
divide both sides by - 12
x = [tex]\frac{-8}{- 12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
