Steps to solve:

-2(5x + 8) = 14 + 6x

~Distribute left side

-10x - 16 = 14 + 6x

~Subtract 6x to both sides

-16x - 16 = 14

~Add 16 to both sides

-16x = 30

~Divide -16 to both sides

x = 30/-16

~Simplify

x = -15/8

Best of Luck!

Without seeing the choices you have to pick from:

1. Is either multiply or distribute ( they mean the same thing in this problem)

2. Subtract 16

3. Add 16

4. Divide by -16
