Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

6(8−2x)=4x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6(8−2x)=4x

(6)(8)+(6)(−2x)=4x(Distribute)

48+−12x=4x

−12x+48=4x

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

−12x+48−4x=4x−4x

−16x+48=0

Step 3: Subtract 48 from both sides.

−16x+48−48=0−48

−16x=−48

Step 4: Divide both sides by -16.

−16x/−16=−48/−16
