To solve for x, you want to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
8x - 20 = -4x + 28
Add 4x to both sides:
8x + 4x - 20 = -4x + 4x + 28
12x - 20 = 28
Add 20 to both sides:
12x - 20 + 20 = 28 + 20
12x = 48
Divide both sides by 12:
(12x)/12 = 48/12
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.
8x - 20 = -4x + 28
Add 4x to both sides:
8x + 4x - 20 = -4x + 4x + 28
12x - 20 = 28
Add 20 to both sides:
12x - 20 + 20 = 28 + 20
12x = 48
Divide both sides by 12:
(12x)/12 = 48/12
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.
