mehek14 · Answer

8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27

16x - 112 + 13 = 4x - 27

16x -99 = 4x - 27

12x = 72

72/12 = ?

itskayylayy1213 · Answer

8 (2x - 14) + 13 = 4x -27

distribute 8 through the parentheses 

16x - 112 + 13 = 4x - 27

combine like terms

16x - 99 = 4x -27

subtract 4x from each side

12x - 99 = -27

add 99 to each side

12x = 72

divide each side by 12

x = 6
