Question

16-4 (5-x)=8 then x=

Answer 1

16-4(5-x)=8

Step #1- 16-4 = 12

Step #2- 12(5-x) (multiply everything in the parenthesis by 12)
12 * 5 = 60 12 * -x = -12x

Step #3- 60 + -12x =8
+60 -60 + -12x = 8 - 60
-12x = 52
-12/-12 = 52/-12
x = -52/12


Your answer is: x = -52/12

Have an amazing day!
