Does anyone know what 8x+4 = 3x+2?

Answer 1

8 + 4 = 3 + 2 8x+4=3x+2 8x+4=3x+2 8 + 4 − 4 = 3 + 2 − 4

Explanation:

Subtract 4 4 4 from both sides of the equation

I don't know I'm not good at math.

Answer 2

x= -2/5 or -0.4

Explanation:

an acronym that i use that helps me is D.C.M.S. ( distribute, combine like terms, move variable, solve) so first you want to distribute, but since there is no need for distribution in this problem, we can skip that, as well as combining like terms. so then, we have to move the variable. i moved the 3x by subtracting it on both sides. so now we have 5x+4=2. then you just solve from there; subtract 4: 5x= -2; divide by 5. hope this helps :)
