12x - 14 = 16x
12x - 14(+14) = 16x (+14)
12x = 16x + 14
12x (-16x) = 16x(-16x) + 14
-4x = 14
-4x/-4 = 14/-4
x = -3 1/2
Check:
12(-3.5) - 14 = 16(-3.5)
-42 - 14 = -56
-56 = -56
The answer is: -3 1/2 or -3.5
12x - 14(+14) = 16x (+14)
12x = 16x + 14
12x (-16x) = 16x(-16x) + 14
-4x = 14
-4x/-4 = 14/-4
x = -3 1/2
Check:
12(-3.5) - 14 = 16(-3.5)
-42 - 14 = -56
-56 = -56
The answer is: -3 1/2 or -3.5
