Answer 1

You would do substitution.

8-2x=-4x+4

-2x -2x

__________

8=-6x+4

-4 -4

________

4=-6x Then divide both sides by -6 that will give you your x value

Answer 2

Explanation

subtract 8 from both sides

8-2x-8=-4x+4-8

simplify

-2x=-4x-4

add 4x to both sides

-2x+4x=-4x-4+4x

Simplify

2x=-4

divide both sides by 2

2x/2=4/2

simplify

x=-2
