Question

2(4x − 3) − 8 = 4 + 2x
steps

Answer 1

X=3

Explanation:

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

multiply parentheses by 2

8x-6-8=4+2x

Calculate

8x-14=4+2x

Move terms

8x-2x=4+14

Calculate the sum after collecting like terms

6x=18

Divide both sides by 6

x=3

Answer 2

Explanation:

2(4x − 3) − 8 = 4 + 2x

2 • 4x = 8x

2•-3=-6

8x-6= 4+2x

get x by itself

x=3
