Hey there!

ADD both sides by 6

-4x + (-6) + 6 = 14 + 6

Cancel out: -6 + 6 because that gives you 0

Keep: 14 + 6 because it helps us solve for the equation

14 + 6 = 20

New equation: -4x = 20

Divide both sides by -4

-4x / -4 = 20 / -4

Cancel out: -4x / -4 because it gives you 1

Keep: 20 / -4 because it gives you x

20 / -4 = 20 ÷ -4 = -5

Thus x = -5 ✔

Answer: Option A. -5 ✅

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
