Hello there!
[tex]3x-14=-5x+2[/tex]
Add 5x to both sides:
[tex]3x-14+5x=-5x+2+5x\\8x-14=2[/tex]
Add 14 to both sides:
[tex]8x-14+14=2+14\\8x=16[/tex]
Now divide both sides by 8:
[tex]\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{16}{8}[/tex]
In our last step, we will simplify 16/8:
[tex]\frac{16}{8}=2\\ x=2[/tex]
Hope this helps!
