Whats equivalent to 14 (8-6x+12)

We can use the distributive property to set up an expression that is equal to this problem.

14 times 8 is 112

14 times - 6 is - 84x

14 times 12 is 168

(If you don't know the distributive property ask and I can explain it)

We can combine that together to get:

112 + 168 - 84x

Or, condense it further:

280-84x is equivalent to 14 (8-6x+12)

So which is equivilent

pemdas

(8-6x+12)

(20-6x)

multiply/distribute

1/4 (20-6x)

5-6/4x=5-3/2x=-3/2x+5 and thats your final answer - 3/2x+5
