    2-x=5 (x+14)

    Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

    2-x = 5 (x+14)

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    2-x = 5 (x+14)

    Simplify:

    -x + 2 = 5x + 70

    Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

    -x + 2 - 5x = 5x + 70 - 5x

    - 6x + 2 = 70

    Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

    - 6x + 2 - 2 = 70-2

    - 6x = 68

    Step 4: Divide both sides by - 6.

    - 6x / - 6 = 68 / - 6

    x = - 34 / 3

    Answer:

    x = - 34 / 3
