Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute -6 on the left side. -6x-12
Distribute 2 on the other side 8x+14
-6x-12=2x-8+8x+14
-6x-12=10x+6
-18=16x
x=-18/16
-9/8 =x
-6(x+2)=2x-8+2(4x+7)
Distribute
-6x -12 = 2x-8+8x +14
Combine like terms
-6x -12 = 10x +6
Add 6x to each side
-6x -12+6x = 10x+6+6x
-12 = 16x+6
Subtract 6 from each side
-12-6 = 16x
-18 = 16x
Divide by 16
-18/16 = 16x/16
