3x-14-12x=-16
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-9x-14=-16
Combine 3x and -12x to get -9x.
-9x=-16+14
Add 14 to both sides.
-9x=-2

x=\frac{-2}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
x=\frac{2}{9}
Fraction \frac{-2}{-9} can be simplified to \frac{2}{9} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
