Answer:
0=4x
Step-by-step explanation:
You can read this problem as simplify -2(2-2x)=4-8(1-x), because being equivalent to something can be started with simplification.
So now, on to the simplification now:
-2(2-2x)=4-8(1-x)
Step 1: Open Parantheses -4+4x=4-8+8x
(Remember, two negatives equal a postitive. That's why you get 4x and 8x, not -4x nor -8x.)
Step two: Tidy (Put x's on one side, others on the other.) 4x-8x=4-8+4
(Remember, when you move a number/variable to one side, the negative/positive sign becomes the opposite.)
Step three: Solve -4x=0
Now, be get -4x=0. But then again, if -4x=0, then 4x=0, considering <em>x </em>will be zero.
I hope you liked this explanation! If you have more problems, I'm always free to help.
