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
Best of Luck!
