It is equivalent because of the distributive property. If you multiply 4 by x and y, you get 4x and 4y.
4x + 4y = 4x + 4y
May you add the statements so I can identify which one is true
X + x + 2 = 14
2x + 2 = 14
2x = 12, x = 6
Solution: the smallest of the two integers is 6

When you divide a negative integer by a negative, it becomes a positive. Also, when you have a problem like this...-18/-1/6, you switch the -1 and 6, leaving us -18/-6, but also, in the process of flipping the two numbers, we change to -18*-6. Henceforth...-18/(-1/6)=-18*-6=108.
