Given:

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

Let's solve for x.

First step:

Use distributive property to expand the parentheses

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

8x - 32 = -2 + 3x

Next step:

Add 32 to both sides

8x - 32 + 32 = -2 + 32 + 3x

8x = 30 + 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides:

8x - 3x = 30 + 3x - 3x

5x = 30

Divide both sides by 5:


\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)=(30)/(5) \\ \\ x\text{ = 6} \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

x = 6
