2*+3 (*-4) = 8 what the answer to this problem

4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3 (x-4) = 8

2x+3x-12=8

5x-12=8

5x-12+12=8+12

5x=20

5x/5=20/5

x=4

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

you must first distribute the 3 into the (x-4). then you have 2x+3x-12=8. Then you combine like terms meaning you add 2x and 3x together and have 5x. Now you have 5x-12=8. Then add 12 on both sides so now you have 5x = 20 and finally you have to divide both sides by 5 and then your answer is x=4
