12+4x=14x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3+x.
12+4x-14x=0
Subtract 14x from both sides.
12-10x=0
Combine 4x and -14x to get -10x.
-10x=-12
Subtract 12 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-12}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=\frac{6}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-12}{-10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
