Answer:

X = 2

Explanation:

3x+2(4x−4)=5x+4

3x+(2)(4x)+(2)(−4)=5x+4( Distribute)

3x+8x+−8=5x+4

(3x+8x)+(−8)=5x+4(Combine Like Terms)

11x+−8=5x+4

11x−8=5x+4

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

11x−8−5x=5x+4−5x

6x−8=4

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

6x−8+8=4+8

6x=12

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.

6x = 12

6 6

x=2
