-18=14x-144
first add 144 to both sides
-18+144=14x-144+144
the 144 on the rigth side will cancel out.
-18+144=14x
next subtract 18 from 144
126=14x
now divide both sides by 14
126/14=14x/14
9=x is your answer.
i hope i was able to help.

all you have to do is add 144 to each side
-18+144=14x-144+144
126=14x divide by 14
9=x

14 times 9 equals 126. 126-144=-18

add 144 to each side that gives you 126. divide 126 by 14 that gives you 9.

-18=14x-144
-14x=18+(-144)
-14x=(-126)
x=(-126/-14)
x=9
