Question 117563

{{{4(x-1)+2=3x+8-2x}}} Start with the given equation




{{{4x-4+2=3x+8-2x}}} Distribute



{{{4x-2=3x+8-2x}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{4x-2=x+8}}} Combine like terms on the right side



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



{{{4x-x=8+2}}} Subtract x from both sides



{{{3x=8+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{3x=10}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(10)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=10/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=3.33333333333333}}} in decimal form)
