4(x-3)/2=8

Yess

OpenStudy (precal):

then 4/2 turns into 2 so it is really x-3=8 add 3 to both sides and it is x=11

OpenStudy (precal):

sorry I forgot the 2 2(x-3)=8

OpenStudy (precal):

2x-6=8 add 6 to both sides 2x=14 divide both sides by 2 x=7

OpenStudy (precal):

You can check yourself by plugging 7 back into the equation. 8=8
