Answer:
4(2x+2)=8(2-3x)
First I am going to distribute the 4 and the 8 on the sides of the equation.
This gets me to
8x + 8 = 16 - 24x
then subtract 8x on both sides to get
8 = 16 - 16x
then subtract 16 on both sides to isolate the -16x
-8 = -16x
then divide by -16 on both sides, to make the x variable positive and isolate the variable even more.
0.5 = x
