The answer is:
.
____________________________________________Explanation:____________________________________________We have: " 6⁻¹ * (-2)³ * (-4)⁻² = ? " ;
_______________________________________Note: "6⁻¹ =

=

" .
Note the following property of exponents:
____________________________________ a⁻ˣ =

; {x ≠ 0}.
____________________________________________Note: (-2)³ = (-2)*(-2)*(-2) = 4*(-2) = -8 .
_______________________________________Note: (-4)⁻² =

;
=

;
=

;
____________________________________So; we have:
_____________________________________6⁻¹ * (-2)³ * (-4)⁻² ;
=

;
→ Cancel out the "8" in the "numerator" (to a "1") ; and the "16" in the number (and change to a "2"); since: {"16÷8 = 2" ; and since: "{8÷8=1"} ;
→and we have:

;
=

.

The combined distance between CD and DE is CE, so...
2x+4 + 6 = x+14 Simplify like terms..
2x + 10 = x + 14 Subtract x from both sides..
x + 10 = 14 Subtract 10 from both sides...
<h2><u><em>
x = 4</em></u></h2>
Proof: 2 (4) + 4 + 6 = 4 + 14
8 + 10 = 18
