Let's solve the equation step by step:
\( x + x - 9 - x + 14 = 86 \)
First, we combine like terms (which is combining all the x terms):
\( (x + x - x) - 9 + 14 = 86 \)
Now, simplify the x terms:
\( 1x + 1x - 1x = x \)
\( x - 9 + 14 = 86 \)
Now, let's combine the numeric terms (-9 and 14):
\( x + (14 - 9) = 86 \)
\( x + 5 = 86 \)
To solve for x, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
\( x + 5 - 5 = 86 - 5 \)
\( x = 81 \)
So, the value of x that solves the equation is 81.
