Question 206673
{{{(2x+4)/4=3x-4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x+4=4(3x-4)}}} Multiply both sides by 4.



{{{2x+4=12x-16}}} Distribute.



{{{2x=12x-16-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{2x-12x=-16-4}}} Subtract {{{12x}}} from both sides.



{{{-10x=-16-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-10x=-20}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-20)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=2}}} Reduce.
