Q-2x-8=4x+8
Sol-2x-4x=8+8
-2x=16
X=16/-2
Ans -8

Answer 1

Simplifying

2x + -8 + -4x = 8

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 2x + -4x = 8

Combine like terms: 2x + -4x = -2x

-8 + -2x = 8

Solving

-8 + -2x = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

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

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + -2x = 8 + 8

-2x = 8 + 8

Combine like terms: 8 + 8 = 16

-2x = 16

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -8

Simplifying

x = -8
