Sage Odonnell · Answer 1

4 (x+8) - 4=34-2x steps

4x + 32 - 4 = 34 - 2x

4x + 28 = 34 - 2x

4 x + 2 x = 34 - 28

6 x = 6

x = 6/6

x = 1

Cesar · Answer 2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 4 (x+8) - 4 = 34 - 2x (4) (x) + (4) (8) + - 4 = 34 + - 2x (Distribute) 4x + 32 + - 4 = 34 + - 2x (4x) + (32 + - 4) = - 2x + 34 (Combine Like Terms) 4x + 28 = - 2x + 34 4x + 28 = - 2x + 34 Step 2: Add 2x to both sides. 4x + 28 + 2x = - 2x + 34 + 2x 6x + 28 = 34 Step 3: Subtract 28 from both sides. 6x + 28 - 28 = 34-28 6x = 6 Step 4: Divide both sides by 6. 6x 6 = 66 x = 1
