Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 5(x) and 5(-2)

-12 + 6x = 6 + 5x + (-10) OR 5x - 10

Flip if you'd like

6x - 12 = 6 + 5x - 10

Combine like terms

6x−12=(5x)+(6+−10)

6x - 12 = 5x - 4

Subtract 5x from both 6 and 5

6x - 5x = 5x - 5x

5x cancels out, so you're left with x, 12, and -4

x - 12 = -4

Add 12 to 12 and -4

12 + 12 = -4 + 12

12 cancels out

-4 + 12 = 8

x = 8

So, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. We get 7/12.

Therefore 14/24 = 7/12.

In cases like these, you simply have to multiply the choices you have for each step.

In fact, you can choose between 4 different crusts. For each of these crusts you can choose 4 different sauces. This means that there are $4\cdot 4 = 16$ choices at this point. In fact, if we call the crust options 1,2,3,4 and the sauce options A,B,C,D, the 16 possible combinations are
