1. We want to add all alike terms and follow GEMDAS as well. Addition first 2x+3x=5x ,then -x(which is equal to -1x) + 10x = 9x. Now we add 5x + 9x = 14x.
Right now the equation looks like:
14x + 14 = -42
2. Now we process the equation,
Subtract 14 from the left side, but what u do to one side u do to the other so now the equation looks like:
14x = -56
3. Now we are almost finished last step.
14x changes to x and we divide -56 by 14 which equals -4. The answer is
X = -4
Ps. I spent way too long writing this answer
