They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4

4 is your answer for x

First you are going to solve for f.
6f = -2
you must get f alone so you divide both sides of the equation by 6 which becomes ....
f = -3
now you add the absolute value sign to -3. absolute value is how far away your answer is from 0. -3 is 3 away from zero so f = 3

Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
2 + 4 = 6
6 + 12 = 18
18 - 12 = 6
6 + 21 = 27
27 + 14 = 41
41 - 10 = 31
