Please help i will fan????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Im in FLVS

Answer 2

8(2x-14)+13=4x-27
now multiply 8 inside you will get
16x-112+13=4x-27
now combine the x terms
16x-4x=112-40
12x=72
x=6

Answer 3

subtract 13 from both sides

8(2x -14)= 4x - 40

now divide both sides by 4

2(2x -14) = x - 10

now it should be easier to handle

Answer 4

First do the distributive property. Then combine like terms. Subtract both sides of the equation by whatever value you are using. Now divide both sides. (I wont tell u the answer.) Now you get x alone.
