Answer:

The answer is x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we first have to put the equation into numerical terms.

14x - 8 = 20x + 22

Now we can solve this using the order of operations.

14x - 8 = 20x + 22 -----> subtract 20 x from both sides

-6x - 8 = 22 ----> add 8 to both sides

-6x = 30 -----> divide both sides by -6

x = -5
