Answer 1

Answer:

-2(57+8) = 14 + 6x

step 1 -2 x 57 and -2 x 8   =

step 2 -114-16 = 14 + 6x

                +16    +16

step 3 -114 = 30 + 6x

           -30    -30

step 4 -144 = 6x

           -144/6  6/6

            x = -24

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

step 1 -2 x 5x and -2 x 8 =

          -10x - 16 = 14 + 6x

step 2 -6x                -6x

           -16x -16 = 14

step 3         +16   +16

            -16x = 30

step 4  -16/-16  30/-16

            x= -15/8
