Answer 1

Step 1: Distribute -2(5x + 8) = 14 + 6x () -10x -16 = 14 + 6x

Step 2: Subtract -10x - 16 = 14 + 6x () -16x - 16 = 14

Step 3: Add -16x - 16 = 14 () -16x = 30

Step 4: Divide by -16x = 30 () x = 30/-16

Answer 2

1) distribute 2) subtract 3) add 4) divide by

Explanation:

The original problem they don't show you is 5x + 8 = 14 + 6x

You can find that out by working Step 1 backwards

Step 1: Distribute ----- -2(5x + 8) = 14 + 6x ----- -10x -16 = 14 + 6x

Step 2: Subtract ----- -10x - 16 = 14 + 6x ------ -16x - 16 = 14

Step 3: Add ----- -16x - 16 = 14 ----- -16x = 30

Step 4: Divide by ----- -16x = 30 ----- x = 30/-16

Hope this helps.
