Question 125974


{{{4x-16=80}}} Start with the given equation




{{{4x=80+16}}}Add 16 to both sides



{{{4x=96}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(96)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x




{{{x=24}}} Divide


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=24}}} 




Check:


{{{4x-16=80}}} Start with the given equation



{{{4(24)-16=80}}} Plug in {{{x=24}}} 



{{{96-16=80}}} Multiply



{{{80=80}}} Subtract. Since the two sides of the equation are equal, this verifies our answer.
