6+x=2x-14. I'm not to sure how to solve this type of equation.

Answer 1

6+x=2x-14

First get the unknown quantitites on one side of the equation. Subtract x from both sides.

6 + x = -14

Then get the known quantities on the other side. Add 14 to both sides.

20 = x

Answer 2

6+x=2x-14
Letters on one side, numbers on the other. Subtract x from both sides.
6=x-14
Add 14 to both sides.
20=x

Answer 3

6+x=2x-14

Answer 4

6+x=2x-14
6+x-x=2x-14-x
6=1x-14
6+14=1x-14+14
20=1x
20/1x=1x/1x
x=20

Answer 5
