Solve 2(3x-4) = 3x - 14

Evaluate

2 (3 x - 4) = 3 x - 14

Expand the expression

More Steps

6 x - 8 = 3 x - 14

Move the expression to the left side

6 x - 8 - 3 x = - 14

Move the expression to the right side

6 x - 3 x = - 14 + 8

Add and subtract

More Steps

3 x = - 14 + 8

Add and subtract

3 x = - 6

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 6}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 6}{3}
