Evaluate

2 x - 6 = x \times 14

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

2 x - 6 = 14 x

Move the variable to the left side

2 x - 6 - 14 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 12 x - 6 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 12 x = 0 + 6

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 12 x = 6

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

12 x = - 6

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x}{12} = \frac{- 6}{12}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 6}{12}
