14. Solve for the value of x in this equation.

2x - (4x + 1) = 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - (4x+1) = 3x-6

2x-4x-1=3x-6 - 2x-1=3x-6 3x+2x=6-1 5x=5 x=5/5 x=1

-1.4 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Combine like terms and subtract the 3x from 2x.

-x - (4x + 1) = - 6

Step 2: Combine more like terms. (and remove parentheses)

-5x + 1 = - 6

Step 3: Combine different like terms.

-5x = - 7

Step 4: Divide it out.

x = - 1.4
