First you should distribute the left side

8−2(3−x)=4x+6
8 - 6 +2x = 4x +6
2 + 2x = 4x + 6
-4x -4x

2 - 2x = 6
-2 -2

-2x = 4 Divide both sides by -2

x = -2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.8−2(3−x)=4x+6Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.8−2(3−x)=4x+68+(−2)(3)+(−2)(−x)=4x+6(Distribute)8+−6+2x=4x+6(2x)+(8+−6)=4x+6(Combine Like Terms)2x+2=4x+62x+2=4x+6Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.2x+2−4x=4x+6−4x−2x+2=6Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.−2x+2−2=6−2−2x=4Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.−2x−2=4−2x=−2Answer:x=−2

(8.218+9.93)+(17.782+0.07)

Licemer1 [7]

First, using the order of operations(PEMDAS), you would solve what is inside the parenthesis.
(8.218 + 9.93) + (17.782 + 0.07)
(18.148) + (17.852)
18.148 + 17.852

Now, all you would have to do is add the two sums.
18.148 + 17.852 = 36

The answer would be 36.

I hope this helps!
