Question

Solve step by step 3(2x-4)=8

Answer 1

Answer:  x = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x-4) = 8     apply the distributive property on the left side

6x - 12= 8       Add 12 to both sides

     +12   +12

6x = 20     Divide both sides by 6

x= 20/6 which simplifies to 10/3

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3.33... or 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x - 4) = 8

distribute the 3 into the parentheses

3 • 2x = 6x

3 • -4 = -12

6x - 12 = 8

add 12 to both sides

6x = 20

divide both sides by 6

x = 3.33... or 10/3
