To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
-8 = 2(x-4)
First, distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-8 = 2x - 8
Next, add 8 to both sides of the equation:
0 = 2x - 8 + 8
Simplifying further:
0 = 2x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
0/2 = 2x/2
This gives us:
0 = x
Therefore, x = 0.
Solve for x (Do NOT use any spaces in your answer)(1 point)
−8=2(x−4)
