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! :))
