6x - 5 = -14 , move -5 to the other side
6x = -14 + 5 ,negative will change to positive
6x = -9
6x / 6 = -9 / 6 , divided by 6 both side and x will remain
x = -3/2 , final answer!!!!!!!!!!!

-3/2
(6 * x) - 5 = -14

x = -9/6
x = -3/2

let the no=x
so 6x-5=-14
or 6x=-14+5=-9
or x=-9/6=-3/2 ans

6x - 5 = -14
if you add 5 to boh sides to isolate x you get: 6x= -9
if you divide both sides by 6 to isolate x you get -9/6 which equals -3/2
So the answer is -3/2
Why do you want people to do your homework for you?
