To solve the equation, let's distribute the -6 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-36 = -6 * 2x - (-6 * 14)
-36 = -12x + 84
Next, let's isolate the variable by subtracting 84 from both sides:
-36 - 84 = -12x + 84 - 84
-120 = -12x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by -12 to solve for x:
-120 / -12 = -12x / -12
10 = x
So the solution to the equation is x = 10.
-36=-6(2x-14)
