Answer:
4
Explanation:
1. First you want to distribute the coefficients through the values in the parenthesis
a. 2(2x-8)=3(4-x)
b. 4x-16 = 12-3x
2. Then you want to put all of the x values on one side of the equation
a. 4x-16 = 12-3x
b. 4x+3x-16=12-3x+3x
c. 7x-16=12
3. Then do the same for the constant values
a.7x-16=12
b.7x-16+16=12+16
c.7x=28
4. Then you divide both sides by the coefficient in front of the x value
a.7x=28
b.7x/7 =28/7
c. x = 4
5. We can check this by plugging this value in to the example
a. 2(2*4-8)=3(4-4)
b. 2(8-8)=3(0)
c. 2(0)=3(0)
d. 0 = 0 :)
