14. $12x + 33 = 93$
* Subtract 33 from both sides: $12x = 60$
* Divide by 12: $x = 5$

15. $2x - 3 = 9$
* Add 3 to both sides: $2x = 12$
* Divide by 2: $x = 6$

16. $19x + 84 = -11$
* Subtract 84 from both sides: $19x = -95$
* Divide by 19: $x = -5$

17. $-20x + 10 = -10$
* Subtract 10 from both sides: $-20x = -20$
* Divide by -20: $x = 1$

18. $5x - 25 = -5$
* Add 25 to both sides: $5x = 20$
* Divide by 5: $x = 4$

Column 3

19. $7x + 56 = -56$
* Subtract 56 from both sides: $7x = -112$
* Divide by 7: $x = -16$

20. $8x + 77 = -43$
* Subtract 77 from both sides: $8x = -120$
* Divide by 8: $x = -15$

21. $-6x - 66 = 66$
* Add 66 to both sides: $-6x = 132$
* Divide by -6: $x = -22$

22. $12x = 36$
* Divide by 12: $x = 3$

23. $-3x - 95 = -8$
* Add 95 to both sides: $-3x = 87$
* Divide by -3: $x = -29$

24. $-19x - 15 = 4$
* Add 15 to both sides: $-19x = 19$
* Divide by -19: $x = -1$

25. $10x + 42 = -8$
* Subtract 42 from both sides: $10x = -50$
* Divide by 10: $x = -5$

26. $20x - 1 = 59$
* Add 1 to both sides: $20x = 60$
* Divide by 20: $x = 3$

27. $14x - 26 = -12$
* Add 26 to both sides: $14x = 14$
* Divide by 14: $x = 1$
