OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks my friend greatly appreciate the assistance.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

welcome :D

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wait...

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

sorry it seems you made a slight mistake...

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

16x - 48 = 4x - 8 you should SUBTRACT 4x here.. 12x - 48 = -8 add 48 12x = -8 + 48 12x = 40 x = 40/12 simplify x = 10/3
