The answer to the equation is  [tex]x=\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

First, you must add 12 on each side

[tex]14x=16-42x[/tex]

Then, you add 42x on each side

[tex]56x=16[/tex]

Finally, divide each side by 56

[tex]x=\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

The value of x = 2/7 which makes the equation 14x - 12 = 4 - 42x true.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is of the form Ax + B = 0.

14x - 12 = 4 - 42x

14x + 42x = 4 + 12

56x = 16

x = 2 / 7

Therefore, The value of x = 2/7 which makes the equation 14x - 12 = 4 - 42x true.
