Answer: x = -6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

-2x + 8 = 3x + 14

Subtract 3x on both sides

-2x + 8 - 3x = 3x + 14 - 3x

-5x + 8 = 14

Subtract 8 on both sides

-5x + 8 - 8 = 14 - 8

-5x = 6

Divide -5 on both sides

-5x / -5 = 6 / -5

[tex]\boxed{x = -\frac{6}{5} }[/tex]

Hope this helps!! :)
