let's bear in mind that
standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
so, let's do away with the denominators by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case 6.

Answer: X= -8
1) Move all X’s to left side by subtracting 14x from both sides.
Leaves you with -3x=24.
2) -3x=24 is the same as 3x= -24
3) Divide both sides by 3 to get X= -8
First, I find it helpful to write the function myself.
There is a set fee of $120, and $5 per <em>n</em> badges.
<em />120 + 5<em>n
</em>
This is a basic model. Now we can see if any match.
f(n) = 5<em>n</em> + 120 matches.
