Need help will do annything please u get 45 pts

Without seeing the choices you have to pick from:

1. Is either multiply or distribute ( they mean the same thing in this problem)

2. Subtract 16

3. Add 16

4. Divide by -16

Steps to solve:

-2(5x + 8)  = 14 + 6x

~Distribute left side

-10x - 16 = 14 + 6x

~Subtract 6x to both sides

-16x - 16 = 14

~Add 16 to both sides

-16x = 30

~Divide -16 to both sides

x = 30/-16

~Simplify

x = -15/8

step-by-step explanation:

if the four friends split the cost, p, of the pizza evenly, then each friend pays one-fourth of the cost of the pizza.

the expression is   or  

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
