Question

Solve -0.5(–2x+8) – 8 = 8.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to distribute: (-0.5 * -2x) and (-0.5 * 8) -8 = 8

1x - 4 - 8 = 8

Next collect like terms:   1x - 12 = 8

Isolate x to get the value of x: Add 12 to both sides

1x = 20

So x = 20

Answer 2

Answer:x=20

Step-by-step explanation: first you distribute the value outside of the parentheses

-0.5*2x= 1x

-0.5*8=-4

it then becomes

x-4-8=8

combine -4 and -8

x-12=8

add the 12 over

x=20
