Please let me know if you want me to add an explanation as to why this is the answer/how I got this answer. I can definitely do that, I just wouldn’t want to write it if you don’t want me to :)
8(x - 6) = 4x Distribute. 8x - 48 = 4x Subtract 8x from both sides. 8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x Now you have... -48 = -4x Divide -4 by both sides. -48/-4 = -4x/-4 12 = x The number is 12.
