Answer 1

your answer.........

Answer 2

Answer:

$\displaystyle x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand.

$\displaystyle-4(x-3)=-4x+12$

$\displaystyle8-4=4x$

$\displaystyle4x+12=2x$

Subtract by 12 from both sides of equation.

$\displaystyle4x+12-12=2x-12$

Simplify.

$\displaystyle4x=2x-12$

Subtract by 2x from both sides of equation.

$\displaystyle4x-2x=2x-12-2x$

Simplify.

$\displaystyle2x=-12$

Divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

$\displaystyle \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-12}{2}$

Simplify, to find the answer.

$\displaystyle -12\div2=-6$

x=-6 is the correct answer.
