Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! 6(x+4)=8(x-2)

Answer 1

Distribute 6(x+4) = 8(x-2)
6x+24 = 8x-16 subtract by on both sides
-24. -24
6x = 8x-40 subtract by on both sides
-6x. -6x

2x = -40
divide both by 2 on each side
and X=20

Answer 2

Distribute 6 into the parentheses and it would become

6x+24=8x-16

Subtract 24 from each side and it becomes

6x=8x-40

Then subtract 8 from 8x and you get

-2x=-40

Divide by -2 and get

X=20
