2x+10=14x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+5.
2x+10-14x=0
Subtract 14x from both sides.
-12x+10=0
Combine 2x and -14x to get -12x.
-12x=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-10}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=\frac{5}{6}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-10}{-12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
