1. We want to add all alike terms and follow GEMDAS as well. Addition first 2x+3x=5x ,then -x(which is equal to -1x) + 10x = 9x. Now we add 5x + 9x = 14x. Right now the equation looks like: 14x + 14 = -42
2. Now we process the equation, Subtract 14 from the left side, but what u do to one side u do to the other so now the equation looks like: 14x = -56
3. Now we are almost finished last step. 14x changes to x and we divide -56 by 14 which equals -4. The answer is X = -4
