Answer:

The answer is 3/2.

Explanation:

8-4x=2

1. Subtract 8 from each side. 8-8-4x=2-8

2. Then you get -4x= -6

3. Next you divide each side by -4. -4x/-4 = -6/-4

Lastly, you get your answer as x= 3/2

\rm \to8 = 2 + 4x


\\


\rm \to8 - 2= 4x


\\


\rm \to6= 4x


\\


\rm \to 4x = 6


\\


\rm \to x = (6)/(4)


\\


\rm \to x = \cancel (6)/(4)


\\


\rm \to x = (3)/(2)
