First, distribute the terms: $14.1 - 7.1x - 6.39 = 12 - 5x - 15$. Simplify to get: $7.71 - 7.1x = -3 - 5x$. Rearrange to: $7.71 + 3 = 7.1x - 5x$, which simplifies to $10.71 = 2.1x$. Solving for $x$ gives $x = 5.1$.

Solve - 14.1−7.1(x+0.9)=12−5(x+3)14.1 - 7.1 ( x + 0.9 ) = 12 - 5 ( x + 3 )14.1−7.1(x+0.9)=12−5(x+3)

Solve
- $14.1 - 7.1 ( x + 0.9 ) = 12 - 5 ( x + 3 )$
