Question

What is the solution to 4x-8=12 please explain

Answer 1

Given the equation 4x-8=12 you need to clear the value of x.

First step is to leave the value of x in one side of the equation and the integers in the other side, to do so you have to add 8 to both sides of the equation

`\begin{gathered} 4x-8=12 \\ 4x-8+8=12+8 \\ 4x=20 \end{gathered}`

Next you have to divide both terms of the equation by 4 to get the value of x

`\begin{gathered} 4x=20 \\ (4x)/(4)=(20)/(4) \\ x=5 \end{gathered}`

The value of x=5
