Step-by-step explanation:
x - 1 = - 3x - 14
Bringing like terms on one side
x + 3x = -14 + 1
4x = - 13
x = - 13/4

Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion:
= 
Then cross multiply:
15x - 15 = 18x + 36
Then subtract 15x from both sides:
-15 = 3x + 36
Subtract 36 from both sides:
-51 = 3x
Finally, divide both sides by 3:
x = -7
First you plot in the y-intercept of the equation. To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 into x. -3m will cancel our giving you y=5. x=0, y=5, the first ordered pair is (0,5). Now after you plot in the y-intercept, use your slope, which is -3, to graph the points of the equation. Starting from (0,5), move down 3 spaces on the y-axis (because it’s -3) and you’ll end up at (0,2). Next move over 1 ( all slopes with just a whole number moves on the x-axis 1 since the whole number divided by 1 doesn’t change the slope number) to the right because it’s a negative linear equation so it’ll go downward. After moving right, you’ll get (1,2). Do a couple more points starting from (1,2) then the 3rd point ABD and so on to get 3 or more points to be able to draw a linear line.
