14x - 2x + 3 = 0

To solve for x move the constant to the other side…
14x - 2x = -3

Since 14x - 2x are the same we can subtract them…
12x = -3

Now we divide 12 by both sides, which looks like this…
12x/12 = -3/13
x = -3/12

Simplify to get…
x = -1/4 [Answer]

Answer:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the dive results in 40 gold coins.

We know that:

Alice: $7,600 Ben: $5,900 Carlos: $1,400.

So they have $ 14900 in total.

Now we will divide that money by 40.

$x=\frac{14900}{40}\\\\x=372.5$
