Question

What is the value of x when solving the equation 4x+(-4) = -2x+8

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

4x - 4 = -2x + 8

Collecting like terms

4x + 2x = 8 + 4

6x = 12

Dividing through by 6

x = 12/6

x = 2

Answer 2

You have to simplify the equation and find the answer

Explanation:

`4x + ( - 4) = - 2x + 8 \\ \\ 4x + 2x = 4 + 8 \\ \\ 6x = 12 \\ \\ x = 2`
