Answer:

x=0

Explanation:

Distribute -2 into the numbers inside the parentheses :

-2*2=-4 -2*-2x=4x

-4+4x=4-8(1-x)

Expand 4-8(1-x):

8x-4

Simplify:

-4+4x=8x-4

Add 4 to both sides:

4x=8x

Subtract 8x from both sides:

-4x=0

Divide both sides by -4:

x=0

I used the MathPapa calculator to solve the multi step equation. You should use it for your other problems. Just a suggestion.
