Solve.

8x-%286x%2B4%29=12

The solution of x = ___

Step 1. Get rid of the parenthesis by distributing the negative (=-1) and combine line terms

8x-6x-4=12

2x-4=12

Step 2. Add 4 to both sides of the equation

2x-4%2B4=12%2B4


2x=16

Step 3. Divide 8 to both sides of the equation

2x%2F2=16%2F2

x=8

Step 4. ANSWER. The solution is x=8.
