Question 261885
What you have done so far is absolutely correct...have more faith in yourself.
You should finish the problem by dividing both sides by 8:
{{{8/8 = 8x/8}}} so...
{{{x = 1}}}
Check:
{{{-2(3x-4) = 2x}}} Substitute x = 1.
{{{-2(3(1)-4) = 2(1)}}} Simplify.
{{{-2(-1) = 2}}}
{{{2 = 2}}} OK!
