Answer:

3

Explanation:

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

8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x

8x - 2x = 4 + 6 + 8

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

Answer:


2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x \\ 2 * 4x + 2 * - 3 - 8 = 4 + 2x \\ according \: to \: bodmas \: first \: * then + or - \\ so \\ 8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x \\ 8x - 14 = 4 + 2x \\ 8x - 2x = 4 + 14 \\ 6x = 18 \\ x = (18)/(6) \\ x = 3 \\ thank \: you
