Answer:

The answer to the given equation is x=3

Explanation:

Given equation is 2(4x-3)-8=4+2x

To find the answer for the given equation :

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

Using the distributive property a(x+y)=ax+ay

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

8x-6-8=4+2x

8x-14=4+2x

Subtracting (4+2x) on both sides we get

8x-14-(4+2x)=4+2x-(4+2x)

8x-14-4-2x=4+2x-4-2x ( by distributive property )

8x-2x-14-4=4-4-2x+2x ( combinig like terms on both sides)

6x-18=0

6x=8


x=(18)/(6)

Therefore x=3

Therefore the answer to the given equation is x=3
