Answer:
x = -6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute -4 on the left side of the equation first, then distribute 2 on the right side of the equation to get:
16x - 4 - 4x = 2x - 14 - 2
combine 'like terms':
12x - 4 = 2x - 16
subtract '2x' from each side to get:
10x - 4 = -16
add 4 to each side to get:
10x = -12
x = -12/10 or x = -6/5
