Question

2x-8=4(x+1). Solve for X please!

Answer 1

Answer:

-6 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-8=4(x+1)

Distribute

2x -8 = 4x+4

Subtract 2x

2x-8-2x = 4x-2x+4

-8 = 2x+4

Subtract 4

-8-4 = 2x+4-4

-12 = 2x

Divide by 2

-12/2 = 2x/2

-6 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = - 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x - 8 = 4(x + 1) \\ 2x - 8 = 4x + 4 \\ 2x - 4x = 8 + 4 \\ - 2x = 12 \\ \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} = \frac{12}{ - 2} \\ x = - 6$
