Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2(x-9)=8x+x-14 ;; equation
simplify the equation to the form
3x+2(x-9)=8x+x-14
reorder the terms in parentheses
3x+(+2x-18)=8x+x-14
remove unnecessary parentheses
+3x+2x-18=+8x+x-14
move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+3x+2x-8x-1x=-14+18
simplify left and right side of the equation.
-4x=+4
divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get x.
x=-1
