4 (x+8)-4=34-2x???????
4(x+8) -4= 34 -2x⇒ 4x+ 32 -4= 34 -2x (distributive property)⇒ 4x + 28= 34 -2x⇒ 4x+ 2x= 34-28⇒ 6x= 6⇒ x= 6/6⇒ x= 1Final answer: x=1~
Let's begin with the left side of the equation.4(x + 8) -4 - Distributive Property.4x + 28 = 34 - 2x - Add 2x to both sides.6x + 32 = 34 - Subtract 28 from both sides.6x = 6 - Divide by 6 on both sides.x = 1
