Answer 2

Answer:

x = -1/2 or -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x - 2) + 2 = 4(x - 2)

open the parenthesis

8x - 8 + 2 = 4x - 8

add 8 to both sides of the equation

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

combine like terms

8x + 2 = 4x

subtract 4x from both sides of the equation

8x - 4x + 2 = 0

4x + 2 = 0

subtract 2 from both sides of the equation

4x + 2 - 2 = 0 -2

4x = -2

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = -2/4

x = -1/2
