Question

Solve the following equation (If possible please show work)

Answer 1

x = 1.8

Explanation:

2 ( 4x-3) - 8 = 4-2x

Distribute

8x -6 -8 = 4- 2x

Combine like terms

8x - 14 = 4 - 2x

Add 2x to each side

8x - 14 +2x = 4-2x+2x

10x-14 = 4

Add 14 to each side

10x-14+14 = 4+14

10x = 18

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 18/10

x = 1.8
