Answer:


x=(2)/(3)

Explanation:

We are given:

4x+3(2-x)=8-2x

To solve this, we first distribute the 3 among the numbers in parenthesis:


4x+3(2-x)=8-2x\\4x+6-3x=8-2x

next, we rearrange terms that are the same next to each other


4x-3x+6=8-2x

combine like terms


x+6=8-2x

add 2x to both sides


3x+6=8

subtract 6 from both sides


3x=2

divide both sides by 3


x=(2)/(3)

Hope this helps! :)
