Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 4(3 - 2x) + 2x = 2x - 8 ← distribute and simplify left side
- 12 + 8x + 2x = 2x - 8
10x - 12 = 2x - 8 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
8x - 12 = - 8 ( add 12 to both sides )
8x = 4 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Answer:
x = 1/2 = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 2x from both sides:
-4(3-2x) + 2x - 2x = 2x - 8 - 2x
Simplify:
-4(3 - 2x) = -8
Divide both sides by -4:
-4(3-2x) / -4 = -8/-4
Simplify:
3 - 2x =2
Subtract 3 from both sides:
3 - 2x - 3 = 2 - 3
Simplify:
-2x = -1
Divide both sides by -2:
-2x/-2 = -1/-2
Simplify:
x = 1/2
