Question

i need help fast
The work of a student to solve the equation 4(2x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 8 is shown below:

Step 1: 4(2x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 8
Step 2: 6x − 8 = 16 + 2x
Step 3: 6x − 2x = 16 + 8
Step 4: 4x = 24
Step 5: x = 6

In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?

Step 2; 8x − 4 = 2(6 + x + 6)
Step 2; 8x − 16 = 16 + 2x
Step 3; 6x − 2x = 16 − 8
Step 3; 6x + 2x = 16 + 8

Answer 1

i feel like its step 2 because i dont understand how 4(2x-4) = 8 it should be 8x-16 = 8

Answer 2

but it seems like u caught up to that

Answer 3

with ur 6x + 2x = 16+8 u can do
8x = 27
x = 27/8
x=3

Answer 4

now give me a medal and pet me on the head master ;)

Answer 5

ask me if u dont understand anything
