Question

6(8-2x)=4x what is the answer to this equation?

Answer 1

6(8-2x)=4x

First, apply distributive property:

6 (8)+ 6 (-2x) = 4x

48-12x =4x

Move the "x" terms to the right:

48 = 4x+12x

Combine like terms

48 = 16 x

Divide both sides of the equation by 16:

48/16 = 16x/16

3 = x

x = 3
