-14 = (x + 12)/-6

The first step to solving this is the multiply both sides by -6 to get rid of the denominator. Also remember that when multiplying two negative numbers, they cancel out and you get a positive product.
-14(-6) = -6(x + 12)/-6

84 = x + 12
Now the only thing left to do is subtract 12 from both sides to isolate the x.
x = 72

The answer is x = 72.
[tex]-14 = \frac{x+12}{-6}[/tex]

First get rid of the fraction by multiplying each side by -6
[tex]-14 = \frac{x+12}{-6}[/tex]
[tex]-6\times-14 = \frac{x+12}{-6} \times -6[/tex]
[tex]84 = x +12[/tex]
[tex]84 - 12 = x + 12 -12[/tex]
[tex]72= x[/tex]
[tex]x = 72[/tex]
