-4(3-2x)+2x=2x-8 First Distribute your -4 to get -12+8x+2x=2x-8 Then combine like terms to get -12+10x=2x-8 Add 8 over to the -12 to get -4+10x=2x Subtract 10x from 2x to get -4=-8x Finally, divide -4 by -8x to get x=1/2. The correct answer is Letter C.
-4(3-2x)+2x=2x-8 distribute -4 through (3-2x)= -12+8x -12+8x+2x=2x-8 Cancel out 2x by subtracting it from both sides. -12+8x=-8 Add 12 to both sides in order to get the -8x alone, 8x=4 Divide both sides by 8, you will get 1/2 and that is C).
