Question

4(x+8)-4=34-2x steps

Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.4(x+8)−4=34−2x(4)(x)+(4)(8)+−4=34+−2x(Distribute)4x+32+−4=34+−2x(4x)+(32+−4)=−2x+34(Combine Like Terms)4x+28=−2x+344x+28=−2x+34Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.4x+28+2x=−2x+34+2x6x+28=34Step 3: Subtract 28 from both sides.6x+28−28=34−286x=6Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.6x6=66x=1

Answer 2

4(x+8)-4=34-2x steps
4x + 32 - 4 = 34 - 2x
4x + 28 = 34 - 2x
4 x + 2 x = 34 - 28
6 x = 6
x = 6/6
x = 1
