6x+24=8x-16 16-24=-8 6-8=-2 2x= -8 4?
answer being 4
no
no?
6(x+4)=8(x-2) Multiply 8 by each term inside the parentheses. 6(x+4)=8x-16 Multiply 6 by each term inside the parentheses. 6x+24=8x-16 Move all terms not containing x to the right-hand side of the equation. -2x+24=-16 Move all terms not containing x to the right-hand side of the equation. -2x=-40 Divide each term in the equation by -2. x=20
