    Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

    Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.

    3 + 6x + - 8x = - 14 + 8x + - 8x

    Combine like terms: 6x + - 8x = - 2x

    3 + - 2x = - 14 + 8x + - 8x

    Combine like terms: 8x + - 8x = 0

    3 + - 2x = - 14 + 0

    3 + - 2x = - 14

    Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

    3 + - 3 + - 2x = - 14 + - 3

    Combine like terms: 3 + - 3 = 0

    0 + - 2x = - 14 + - 3

    -2x = - 14 + - 3

    Combine like terms: - 14 + - 3 = - 17

    -2x = - 17

    Divide each side by '-2'.

    x = 8.5
