8 0

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute

-8x-12= 2x+6-8x-2

Combine like terms

-8x-12 = -6x+4

Add 8x to each side

-8x-12 +8x = -6x+4+8x

-12 = 2x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-12-4 = 2x+4-4

-16 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

-16/2 = 2x/2

-8 =x

How do you solve 7n-2=6n-2n

pantera1 [17]

First combine like terms:
6n-2n = 4n
7n-2=4n
subtract 7n from both sides
7n-2=4n
-7n -7n
-2=-3n
divide -2 on both sides.
n=1.5
