Question

4(x - 2) = 32
Can some help me solve this equation?

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

4(x-2) = 32

divide both sides of the equation by 4 which gives you

x - 2 = 8

Move the constant to the right and change it's sign which gives you

x = 8 + 2

Add those numbers and you get

x = 10

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

Distribute 4(x - 2)

4x - 8 = 32

Add 8 to both sides

4x = 40

Divide 4

x = 10
