Answer (3)

14x+2=12x
[subtract 2 on both sides]
14x=12x-2
[subtract 12x on both sides]
2x=-2
[divide 2 on both sides]
x=-1

The equation 14 x + 2 = 12 x has exactly one solution, which is x = − 1 . This means the equation intersects the x-axis at one point. Substituting back confirms that this solution is accurate.
