Question 1050422

let a number be {{{x}}}
Sixteen more than four times a number: {{{4x+16}}}

 is equal to:=

 the difference between eight and four times the number: {{{8-4x}}}

so, we have  {{{4x+16=8-4x}}}...solve for {{{x}}}

{{{4x+4x+16=8-4x+4x}}}

{{{8x+16=8}}}

{{{8x+16-16=8-16}}}

{{{8x=-8}}}

{{{x=-8/8}}}

{{{x=-1}}}
