Question 641461
{{{4-2(7-x)=8-4x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4-14+2x=8-4x}}} Distribute.



{{{2x-10=8-4x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=8-4x+10}}} Add {{{10}}} to both sides.



{{{2x+4x=8+10}}} Add {{{4x}}} to both sides.



{{{6x=8+10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6x=18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(18)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3}}} Reduce.
