Mutiply it all out.
So
8*2x+8*-14+13=4x-27
Next 16x-112+13=4x-27 , We Simplify.
so 16x-99=4x-27 , then we subtract 4x from both sides.
16x-4x-99=-27 simplify.
12x-99=-27
Next add 99 to both sides. 12x=99-27
simplify , 12x=72
divide both sides by 12 to get X by itself. x=72/12
x=6

yes plz :)

yoloshroom · Answer

Multiply out 8(2x-14)
so we get 16x-112+13=4x-27
move X to one side, and all other terms to the other side :)
16x-4x=112-13-27
then we simplify the equation so 
12x=72
then we divide by 12
so x=6
