Let x = the number of alternative schools.
Therefore, 2x - 4 = 48.
2x -4 +4 = 48 + 4
2x = 52
x = 26
Therefore, there are 26 alternative schools(You could check this answer by substituting x=26 into the equation above.).
= (16x3 - 8x2 + 4x4) / 2x
= 4x * (4x2 - 2x + x3) / 2x
= 2 * (4x2 - 2x + x3)
= 8x2 - 4x + 2x3
