Answer:


x = 2

Explanation:


(3(x - 2))/(4) = 4x - 8

multiply both sides of the equation by 4


4 * (3(x - 2))/(4) = 4 * (4x - 8)

on the left side of the equation 4 of the denominator will be eliminated and the equation will look like this


3x - 6 = 16x - 32

transfer the like terms to same side of equation


32 - 6 = 16x - 3x

add them up


26 = 13x

divide both sides of equation by 13 and the answer is


x = 2
