Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27

Lets go in the order of PEMDAS (Parantheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First, distribute 8.

8(2x – 14)

[tex]8*2x=16[/tex]

[tex]8*-14=-112[/tex]

So now our equation is:

16x – 112 + 13 = 4x – 27

Now we can add. We will add 13 to -112.

[tex]-112 +13=-99[/tex]

Now our equation looks like this:

16x – 99 = 4x – 27

Now we have to try to get the variable (x) on one side of the equation.

To do this, we will subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.

16x – 99 = 4x – 27

-4x            -4x

12x - 99 = -27

Now we can add 99 to -27.

[tex]99 + (-27) = 72[/tex]

Now we have

12x = 72

Our last step is to divide both sides by 12:

[tex]\frac{12x}{12}= \frac{72}{12}[/tex]

We get x = 6.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27

Step 1: Distribute 8, meaning multiply 2x and -4 using 8

8(2x – 14)

8(2x) + 8(-14)

16x - 112

New equation:

16x - 112 + 13 = 4x – 27

Step 2: Add any numbers or like terms:

16x - 112 + 13 = 4x – 27

16x - 109 = 4x - 27

New equation:

16x - 99 = 4x - 27

Step 3: Isolate the variable on one side

16x - 99 = 4x - 27

-4x           -4x

12x - 99 = - 27

     + 99   + 99

12x = 72

Step 4: Divide both sides by 12

12x = 72

/12    /12

x = 6

B.

Check your answer:

8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27

8(2(6) - 14) + 13 = 4(6) - 27

8(12 - 14) + 13 = 4(6) - 27

8(-2) + 13 = 24 - 27

-16 + 13 = 24 - 27

-3 = -3

This statement is correct

Therefore, our answer (x = 6) is correct.

Hope this helps!
