Hey there!

First, let's make an equation. We will use x to represent our secret number. Remember, when making equations, the word is always means an equal sign.

2x+6=3x-14

Now, we put both variables on one side.

-x+6=-14

We put both constants on one side

-x=-20

We divide both sides by -1.

x=20

Our secret number is 20.

I hope this helps!
