Question

2 ( 4x - 3 ) - 8 = 4 + 2x Giving me a headache

Answer 1

1 Expand.

8x-6-8=4+2x8x−6−8=4+2x

2 Simplify  8x-6-88x−6−8  to  8x-148x−14.

8x-14=4+2x8x−14=4+2x

3 Add 1414 to both sides.

8x=4+2x+148x=4+2x+14

4 Simplify  4+2x+144+2x+14  to  2x+182x+18.

8x=2x+188x=2x+18

5 Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

8x-2x=188x−2x=18

6 Simplify  8x-2x8x−2x  to  6x6x.

6x=186x=18

7 Divide both sides by 66.

x=\frac{18}{6}x=

Done Hope this helps let me know if u have any questions thank you

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Expand.

8x-6-8=4+2x8x−6−8=4+2x

2 Simplify  8x-6-88x−6−8  to  8x-148x−14.

8x-14=4+2x8x−14=4+2x

3 Add 1414 to both sides.

8x=4+2x+148x=4+2x+14

4 Simplify  4+2x+144+2x+14  to  2x+182x+18.

8x=2x+188x=2x+18

5 Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

8x-2x=188x−2x=18

6 Simplify  8x-2x8x−2x  to  6x6x.

6x=186x=18

7 Divide both sides by 6.

x= ​18/6

​​  

8 Simplify  18/6 to 3

x=3
