What is the process of 4(3x-5)=-2(-x+8)-6x???

4(3x-5) = -2(-x+8)-6x

 

Distribute the 4 and the -2.

12x - 20 = 2x - 16 - 6x.

 

Collect like terms: (2x - 6x).

12x - 20 = -4x - 16.

 

Add both sides by 20 and 4x.

16x = 4.

 

Divide by 16.

x = 4/16.

 

Simplify the fraction by dividing both top and bottom by 4.

x = 1/4.
