You start with 14, and add on 6 which gives you your starting total 20. So that's one hour. then you add another hour, adding on another $6 making the total $26 and two hours of renting time.
10x-3(x-6)=-(x-1) first distribute 10x -3x +18 = -x + 1 then you simplify 7 x +18 = -x +1 then you leave of when one side of x 6 x +18= +1 use opposite operation on the side with the x and do the same equation to the other side 6 x = -17 then divide x = - 2.8333....
