What Is The Answer Of This X-14=5x

What is the answer of this x-14=5x

Answer:

x = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 14 = 5x

Transpose 14 and change its sign

x = 5x + 14

Transpose 5x and change its sign

x - 5x = 14

Subtract the left side of the equation

-4x = 14

Divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4 = 14/-4

x = -14/4

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms

x = -7/2

Checking:

x - 14 = 5x

-7/2 - 14 = 5(-7/2)

-35/2 = -35/2
