she just need the answer and will not do anything else, wait and see

It's no use of only getting the answer.. Isn't it.? She should know the way to solve it.. :)

I need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take it like this.. \[8x-8=6x+12-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See I distributed x. Did u understand it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no /;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just multiply 8 by x and -1 and then multiply 6 by x and +2 then the brackets will disappear. The last one is -4. This is the simplest way to explain u. Did u understand. :)
