Note: lower case L is commonly mistaken as a one. So I'm going to use "x" in place of l




2=-%284x-2%29 Start with the given equation.


2=-4x%2B2 Distribute.


2-2=-4x Subtract 2 from both sides.


0=-4x Combine like terms on the left side.


0%2F%28-4%29=x Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x.


0=x Reduce.
