Consider the equation below - 2 (5x + 8) = 14 + 6x complete the statements below with the process used to achieve steps 1-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the - 2. multiply-2 with 5x and 8. it will be - 10x-16=14+6x. For me, i make small numbers negative or positive than big ones. Add 16 to both sides. it will be - 10x=30+6x. Subtract 6x. - 10x-6x=-16x. Divide both sides by 16. x=30/16 = 1 and 14/16
