Answer: x = -54
Explanation:
Simplifying
(2x) = (4x + 108)
Reorder the terms:
(2x) = (108 + 4x)
Remove parenthesis around (108 + 4x)
(2x) = 108 + 4x
Solving
(2x) = 108 + 4x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
(2x) + -4x = 108 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: (2x) + -4x = -2x
-2x = 108 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
-2x = 108 + 0
-2x = 108
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -54
