12 - 3x = 8 - 4(2x - 6)

1 answer

To solve the equation, we first need to simplify both sides:

12 - 3x = 8 - 4(2x - 6)

12 - 3x = 8 - 8x + 24

Next, we combine like terms:

-3x + 3x + 8x = 8 + 24 - 12

8x = 20

Then, we divide both sides by 8:

8x/8 = 20/8

x = 2.5

So, the solution to the equation is x = 2.5.
