Does anyone know what
2(4x+2)=4x−12(x−1) is?
Hint: Try to simplify the expression.
After simplifying, you should get 8x+4=4x-12x+12, so 16x=8, and x=1/2.
From the top, we have
2(4x+2)=4x−12(x−1) simplify
8x + 4 = 4x - 12x + 12
8x + 4 = - 8x + 12 add 8x to both sides, subtract 4 from both sides
16x = 8 divide both sides by 16
x = 8 /16 = 1 / 2 .....just as tertre found.....!!!
