14+2m = 4m - 16
Combine like terms.
14 + 16 = 4m - 2m
30 = 2m
15 = m

The last one:
4x - 8 = 6x - 4
14+2m = 4m - 16 (no multiple choice)
I don't understand it
4(x +2) = 14 - 2(3 - 4x) (no multiple choice)
Eight subtracted from 4 times a number is equal to 4 less than 6 times the number. (not multiple choice)
my answer is 8x - 4 = 4x - 6

14+2m = 4m - 16
subtract 2 m both sides
14 = 2 m - 16
add 16 both sides
30 = 2 m
multiply both sides by (1/2)
15 = m
================================
4(x +2) = 14 - 2(3 - 4x)
4 x + 8 = 14 - 6 + 8 x
8 + 6 = 14 + 4 x
0 = 4 x
x = 0

my answer is 8x - 4 = 4x - 6
Hummm
mine is
4 x - 8 = 6 x - 4
-4 = 2 x
x = -2
subtract 2 m both sides
14 = 2 m - 16
add 16 both sides
30 = 2 m
multiply both sides by (1/2)
15 = m
================================
4(x +2) = 14 - 2(3 - 4x)
4 x + 8 = 14 - 6 + 8 x
8 + 6 = 14 + 4 x
0 = 4 x
x = 0
