Question

Solve for the variable. Show/explain how you got your answer.

2(4x − 3)−8=4+2x

Answer 1

8x-6-8 = 4+ 2x
8x-14=4+2x
6x=18
x= 18/6

Answer 2

`x=3`

Explanation:

`2\left(4x-3\right)-8=4+2x`

Expand 2(4x-3)-8= 8x-14

• 
  `8x-14=4+2x`

Add 14 to both sides:

• 
  `8x-14+14=4+2x+14`

• 
  `6x=18`

Divide both sides by 6:

• 
  `(6x)/(6)=(18)/(6)`

• 
  `x=3`
