Answer:
x = -1/2 or -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2x - 2) + 2 = 4(x - 2)
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
8x - 8 + 2 = 4x - 8
<em>add 8 to both sides of the equation</em>
8x - 8 + 2 + 8 = 4x - 8 + 8
<em>combine like terms</em>
8x + 2 = 4x
<em>subtract 4x from both sides of the equation</em>
8x - 4x + 2 = 0
4x + 2 = 0
<em>subtract 2 from both sides of the equation</em>
4x + 2 - 2 = 0 -2
4x = -2
<em>divide both sides by 4</em>
4x/4 = -2/4
x = -1/2
