tep 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x−(4−x)=3(x−4)−4
x+−1(4−x)=3(x−4)−4(Distribute the Negative Sign)
x+(−1)(4)+−1(−x)=3(x−4)−4
x+−4+x=3(x−4)−4
x+−4+x=(3)(x)+(3)(−4)+−4(Distribute)
x+−4+x=3x+−12+−4
(x+x)+(−4)=(3x)+(−12+−4)(Combine Like Terms)
2x+−4=3x+−16
2x−4=3x−16
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x−4−3x=3x−16−3x
−x−4=−16
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
−x−4+4=−16+4
−x=−12
Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.
-x/-1 = -12 / -1
X= 12
