Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

14x + 18 + x = -112(x + 36) + 13

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Distribute -112:                         14x + 18 + x = -112x - 4032 + 13
2. Combine like terms:                15x + 18 = -112x - 4019
3. Add 112x on both sides;          127x + 18 = -4019
4. Isolate x term:                          127x = -4037
5. Isolate x:                                   x = -4037/127
