14x+2=12x
[subtract 2 on both sides]
14x=12x-2
[subtract 12x on both sides]
2x=-2
[divide 2 on both sides]
x=-1
14 x + 2 = 12 x 14 x − 12 x = − 2 2 x = − 2 ∣ : 2 x = − 1 T h ere i s o n e so l u t i o n .
The equation 14 x + 2 = 12 x has exactly one solution, which is x = − 1 . This means the equation intersects the x-axis at one point. Substituting back confirms that this solution is accurate.
