Answer:
The answer I got was x=1
Explanation:
Let's start with some distribution!
4(x+8) <-- We can distribute that 4 and make:
4x+32
So now our equation stands as:
4x+32-4=34-2x
Now lets clean up that left side a bit with the subtraction:
32-4=38
Our equation is now:
4x+28=34-2x
Alrighty, now we can combine the like terms! Let's add 2x to both sides:
4x+28=34-2x
+2x +2x
and we'll get:
6x+28=34
Our equation is much neater! Subtract 28 from both sides. The goal is to get our x alone.
6x+28=34
-28 -28
Now the equation is:
6x=6
Lastly, divide both sides by 6 to solve for x
6x=6
/6 /6
x=1
Good luck! :))
