-3\times 3x-14=5x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 30, the least common multiple of 10,15,6.
-9x-14=5x
Multiply -3 and 3 to get -9.
-9x-14-5x=0
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-14x-14=0
Combine -9x and -5x to get -14x.
-14x=14
Add 14 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{14}{-14}
Divide both sides by -14.
x=-1
Divide 14 by -14 to get -1.
