6*4-½(x+8)=3.2x+4-10.4x

distribute

6*4-½x-4=3.2x+4-10.4x

combine like terms

24-½x-4=4-7.2x

move the x to the left side

24-½x-4=4-7.2×

+7.2 +7.2

6.7 XX <-- canceled out

combine like terms again

24-4

20

equation so far

20+6.7x=4

subtract 20 on both sides

20+6.7x=4

-20 -20

XX<--cancels out

divide by 6.7 on both sides

6.7x=-16

----- -----

6.7. 6.7

answer

x=2.388059701
