Do you need help with both parts?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

see
8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27
16x - 112 + 13 = 4x - 27

Answer 6

Ok.
8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27
Let's start out by using the distributive property.

8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27
(8)*(2x) + (-14)*(8) + 13 = 4x - 27
16x - 112 +13 = 4x - 27

Now, let's combine the like terms

16x - 99 = 4x - 27

Now we add 99 to each side:

16x - 99 +99 = 4x - 27 +99
16x = 4x +72

And then we subtract 4x from each side

16x - 4x = 4x - 4x +72
12x = 72

Finally, we divide by 12

12x/12 = 72/12
x=6
