14. Twice the sum of a number and eight

2(x + 8) is the expression.

Use distributive property to simplify,

2x+16

I didn't know which answer you wanted so

2(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Twice the sum means we multiply by 2

2

the sum of a number and eight is x + 8

2 * x + 8

Since we have to twice the sum we put x + 8 in parenthesis to show to do that first

2(x + 8)

Hope this Helps!

step-by-step explanation:

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
