Explanation:
STEP
1
:
STEP
2
:
Pulling out like terms
2.1 Pull out like factors :
4x - 8 = 4 • (x - 2)
Equation at the end of step
2
:
(0 - 12 • (x - 2)) - -36 = 0

STEP
4
:
Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
60 - 12x = -12 • (x - 5)
Equation at the end of step
4
:
-12 • (x - 5) = 0
STEP
5
:
Equations which are never true:
5.1 Solve : -12 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
5.2 Solve : x-5 = 0
Add 5 to both sides of the equation :
x = 5
