Simplifying

x + 6 = 3x + - 14

Reorder the terms:

6 + x = 3x + - 14

Reorder the terms:

6 + x = - 14 + 3x

Solving

6 + x = - 14 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

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

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

Combine like terms: x + - 3x = - 2x

6 + - 2x = - 14 + 3x + - 3x

Combine like terms: 3x + - 3x = 0

6 + - 2x = - 14 + 0

6 + - 2x = - 14

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + - 6 + - 2x = - 14 + - 6

Combine like terms: 6 + - 6 = 0

0 + - 2x = - 14 + - 6

-2x = - 14 + - 6

Combine like terms: - 14 + - 6 = - 20

-2x = - 20

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10
