3/2x-4=20

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3/2x-4=20

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+2x=+20+4

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+2x=+24

We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.
x=12

if the product of 4 and a number is decreased by 12, the result is twice the opposite of the number. Find the number. EXPLAIN PL
ELEN [110]
Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
     " 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ;  in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall                                       solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:  

If the "number" = "x" ;  the "opposite of the number"  =  " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as:  " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
     →  Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

                      4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

           to get:    6x  = 12  ;
____________________________________________________
 Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ; 
     to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
                         6x / 6  =  12 / 6 ;

                    to get:    x = 2 .
____________________________________________________
Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
        →   " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

  Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

        →   " 4(2) − 12 = ?  2(-2) ?? 

        →    8 − 12 = ?  -4 ? ;
 
        →    -4 = ? -4 ??  Yes!
