Simplifying
2(4x + -6) = 8x + -12
Reorder the terms:
2(-6 + 4x) = 8x + -12
(-6 * 2 + 4x * 2) = 8x + -12
(-12 + 8x) = 8x + -12
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 8x = -12 + 8x
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + 8x = -12 + 12 + 8x
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 8x = -12 + 12 + 8x
8x = -12 + 12 + 8x
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
8x = 0 + 8x
8x = 8x
Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.
8x + -8x = 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
0 = 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
