Answer :

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 4) = 6x + 8

2x - 8 = 6x + 8

-4x - 8 = 8

-4x = 16

x = -4

Answer:

x = - 5.33

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 4) = 6x + 8                  Remove the brackets

2x - 8 = 5x + 8                    Subtract 2x from both sides

2x-2x - 8 = 5x - 2x + 8       Combine

- 8 = 3x + 8                         Subtract 8 from both sides

-8 - 8 = 3x + 8 - 8                Combine

- 16 = 3x                              Divide by 3

-16/3 = 3x/3

-5.33 = x
