Answer:

-4×(2×1)=8x-2-4

solve in ( )

-4×3=8x-2-4

multiply -4 to 3

-12=8x-2-4

add 2 and 4 to both sides

-6=8x

divide -6 to 8 and you will get the answer

x=-0.75

Answer:

x = -0.25 (or) -1/4

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem,

→ -4 × (2 × 1) = 8x - 2 - 4

→ -4 × 2 = 8x - 6

→ -8 = 8x - 6

→ 8x = -8 + 6

→ x = -2/8

→ [ x = -0.25 ]

Thus, solution is -0.25.
