Answer:4(x−2)−8=4+2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x−2.
4x−8−8=4+2x
Subtract 8 from −8 to get −16.
4x−16=4+2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4x−16−2x=4
Combine 4x and −2x to get 2x.
2x−16=4
Add 16 to both sides.
2x=4+16
Add 4 and 16 to get 20.
2x=20
Divide both sides by 2.
x=
2
20
Divide 20 by 2 to get 10.
x=10
