Question

2-3(x+4)= 8
solve for each variable

Answer 1

Answer:
`\Large\boxed{x=-6}`

Explanation:

Given equation

2 - 3(x + 4) = 8

Subtract 2 on both sides

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

-3(x + 4) = 6

Divide -3 on both sides

-3(x + 4) / -3 = 6 / -3

x + 4 = -2

Subtract 4 on both sides

x + 4 - 4 = -2 - 4

`\Large\boxed{x=-6}`

Hope this helps!! :)
