Answer:

  1. distribute
  2. subtract
  3. add
  4. divide by

Step-by-step explanation:

  \begin{array}{rccl}&-2(5x+8)=14+6x\\\text{Step 1:}&-10x-16=14+6x&\text{distribute}&\text{-2 to $5x$ and 8.}\\\text{Step 2:}&-16x-16=14&\text{subtract}&6x\\\text{Step 3:}&-16x=30&\text{add}&16\\\text{Step 4:}&x=\dfrac{30}{-16}&\text{divide by}&-16\end{array}

At each step after the first, we use one of the properties of equality to simplify the equation. In the first step, we use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Note that the first step could have been "divide by -2", which would result in the equation 5x+8 = -7 -3x. Subsequent steps would add 3x, subtract 8, and divide by 8, to give a result of x=-15/8. There is usually more than one way to work a math problem.

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long peices. How many strips can Bruce cut from his rope
dybincka [34]

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long pieces.

The length of the rope = 21 feet

the length of each strip = \frac{1}{5}

We need to cut the rope 21 feet into \frac{1}{5} strips

To find the number of strips we divide 21 feet by the length of the strip

\frac{21}{\frac{1}{5}} = 21 * \frac{5}{1} = 105

105 strips can Bruce cut from his rope.
