Answer: x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we combine like terms, which in this case, is 8 and 6. Make sure to keep the minus sign next to the 2x, so it stays negative.
-2x+14=24
Next, we subtract 14 from each side.
-2x=10
Now, we divide by -2 on each side of the equation, so all we'll have is an x on one side, and a number on the other.
x = -5
