Answer:

1 real solution, x=2

Explanation:

Let's solve for x and see how many solutions exist.

To solve for x, we must get x isolated. To do this, perform the inverse operation to both sides of the equation.

8-4x=0

4x is being subtracted from 8. The inverse, or opposite, of subtraction is addition. Add 4x to both sides.

8-4x+4x=0+4x

8=0+4x

8=4x

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

8/4=4x/4

8/4=x

2=x

x is equal to 2, therefore there is 1 real solution.
