Answer:

There are two orders in which we can do the steps:

1. GAFDC

2. GABEC

Explanation:


4x-8=5x-2(x+2)

Step 1 :G Using distributive property to remove parenthesis:


4x-8=5x+(-2* x-2*2)


4x-8=5x-2x-4

Step 2:A Collect like terms:


4x-8=3x-4

Step 3: F Add 8 to both sides:


4x-8+8=3x-4+8


4x=3x+4

Step 4: D Subtract
3x from both sides:


4x-3x=3x+4-3x


x=4

Solution:C


x=4

Or


4x-8=5x-2(x+2)

Step 1 :G Using distributive property to remove parenthesis:


4x-8=5x+(-2* x-2*2)


4x-8=5x-2x-4

Step 2:A Collect like terms:


4x-8=3x-4

Step 4: B Subtract
3x from both sides:


4x-8-3x=3x-4-3x


x-8=-4

Step 3: E Add 8 to both sides:


x-8+8=-4+8


x=4

Solution:C


x=4

There are two orders in which we can do the steps:

1. GAFDC

2. GABEC
