Solve 14-12x+39x-18x=256-60x-657

$$14 - 12 x + 39 x - 18 x = 256 - 60 x - 657$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{415}{69} = -6\frac{1}{69} \approx -6.014492754$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine -12x and 39x to get 27x.

$$14+27x-18x=256-60x-657$$

Combine 27x and -18x to get 9x.

$$14+9x=256-60x-657$$

Subtract 657 from 256 to get -401.

$$14+9x=-401-60x$$

Add 60x to both sides.

$$14+9x+60x=-401$$

Combine 9x and 60x to get 69x.

$$14+69x=-401$$

Subtract 14 from both sides.

$$69x=-401-14$$

Subtract 14 from -401 to get -415.

$$69x=-415$$

Divide both sides by 69.

$$x=\frac{-415}{69}$$

Fraction \frac{-415}{69} can be rewritten as -\frac{415}{69} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{415}{69}$$
