Question

What is the value of x? 14-x=21

Answer 1

14 - x = 21

First, subtract 14 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -x = 21 - 14
Second, simplify 21 - 14 to get 7. / Your problem should look like: -x = 7
Third, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -7

Answer: x = -7
