Answer: Simplifying
4(6x + -4) = 8(3x + -2)
Reorder the terms:
4(-4 + 6x) = 8(3x + -2)
(-4 * 4 + 6x * 4) = 8(3x + -2)
(-16 + 24x) = 8(3x + -2)
Reorder the terms:
-16 + 24x = 8(-2 + 3x)
-16 + 24x = (-2 * 8 + 3x * 8)
-16 + 24x = (-16 + 24x)
Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 16 + 24x = -16 + 16 + 24x
Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + 24x = -16 + 16 + 24x
24x = -16 + 16 + 24x
Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
24x = 0 + 24x
24x = 24x
Add '-24x' to each side of the equation.
24x + -24x = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
