1) Simplify
<span>4x−20−8=−28+6x
2) </span>Simplify 4x−20−8 to 4x−28
<span>4x−28=−28+6x
3) G</span>roup all terms
<span>4x−28=6x−28
4) </span>Cancel −28 from eachside
<span>4x=6x
5) </span>Move all of the terms to one side
<span>4x−6x=0
6) </span>Simplify equation 4x−6x to −2x
<span>−2x=0
</span>7) Divide each side by <span><span>−2</span></span>
<span><span>x=0</span></span>
