A.
B.
C.
D.

1 answer

To solve the equation 2x - 8 = 4 for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 8 + 8 = 4 + 8
2x = 12

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

(2x)/2 = 12/2
x = 6

Therefore, the solution for the given equation is x = 6.

The correct answer is B.
