Question

Okay that’s okay I’m not taking it out on the time Question 5

Answer 1

D) x = 8

Step-by-step explanation

To find the value of x that makes the equation true, we have to solve the equation for x,

`2(x-4)=x`

To do so, apply the distributive property to eliminate the parenthesis,

`2x-8=x`

Then, subtract x from both sides,

`\begin{gathered} 2x-x-8=x-x \\ \\ x-8=0 \end{gathered}`

And add 8 to both sides,

`\begin{gathered} x-8+8=0+8 \\ x=8 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of x that makes the equation true is 8.
