Question

How do you solve 3(4x − 2x) = 8? I end up getting a fraction ._.

Answer 1

First simplify what is in the parentheses.

Then multiply 3 times (2x), which will give you 6x.

6x = 8, solve for x. You will get a fraction, that's fine.

Answer 2

Distribute.
7x - 6x = 8
1x = 8
x = 8

Answer 3

Oh wait, gotta do inside first because they are of the same degree

Answer 4

so 6x = 8
x = 8/6

Answer 5

So if that's what you got than you're right.
