14 X + 14 = 0
14 X = -14
X = -14 / 14
X = -1
14 X + 14 = 0
14 X = -14
X = -14 / 14
X = -1

14x+14=0
You need to isolate the x on one side of the equation by itself.
First step is subtract 14 form both sides
14x+14-14=0-14
Simplify
14x = -14
Divide both sides by 14
14x/14 = -14/14
Simplify
x = -1
14X+ 14= 0
14X= -14
X = -14/14
X = -1

In a similar problem, solve the equation for x.
11x + 11 = 0
11x = -11
11x/11 = -11/11 (divide both sides by 11)
x = -1
check: plug in -1 for x in original problem. 11(-1) + 11 = 0...-11 + 11 = 0.
